Homecoming. That’s what this past Monday night at CALS Ron Robinson felt like for me. A delightful homecoming where you literally love and adore all your kinfolks. When Theresa invited me to review 24 HOUR PLAYS: LITTLE ROCK, I gladly accepted. Heck! I already had my ticket to attend.

Review: 9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL at Argenta Contemporary Theatre in North Little Rock
by Theresa Bertram - Jul 29, 2025
With Music and Lyrics by the Queen herself, Book by Patricia Resnick and Directed by my favorite Caelon Colbert, this production follows closely to the movie, or so I was told by the women sitting in front of me and insisted that I immediately watch the movie (I haven’t, but it is on my list).

Review: Langston Hughes BLACK NATIVITY at Actors Theatre Of Little Rock
by Theresa Bertram - Dec 16, 2023
As far as singing goes, I’d normally point out a few that really stood out, but every single one of these vocalists showed out! Even the younger actors held their own while hanging with their seasoned counterparts. They all took turns bringing the soul to the gathering, and I was so glad I was here for it!
