Before attending TROUT FISHING IN AMERICA at the Windgate Center for Fine & Performing Arts on the University of Central Arkansas campus in Conway on Sunday, November 2, someone asked me the inevitable question: “What genre are they?” 

When David Henry Hwang’s 1988 play M. Butterfly premiered at the National Theater in Washington D.C. and then produced on Broadway, it was truly visionary, compelling, thought-provoking, and outright shocking. Revised in 2017 to incorporate information that was released after the original play was produced, more people’s acceptance of the LGBTQIA+ community, and China’s growth as a superpower.

Men on Boats, a 2017 play by Jaclyn Backhaus, is an exciting and refreshing way to end the summer. Big Idea Theatre has made it from the Amazon River, in their previous production of The River Bride, to the Green and Colorado Rivers. This time, director Jennifer Adler leads a group of men (women) on a quest to chart unknown territory.

Now, eight years later, the musical returns to the capital in a daring new production that could easily have felt redundant — but instead bursts with fresh energy and precision.

That MSMT chose to create this their co-production with Lewiston‘s Public Theatre is perhaps no surprise since every mounting of this play has met with huge public success.

Jersey Boys follows the journey of Frankie Valli, Tommy DeVito, Bob Gaudio, and Nick Massi, original members of the Four Seasons. The production chronicles the band's humble beginnings in New Jersey and their rise to international stardom. Highlighting the band's career highs and lows, the musical encompasses the band's massive successes, personal challenges, and internal conflicts.

This Bitter Earth, the UK directorial debut of Tony winner Billy Porter, is a play with a lot to say – about race, about activism, and about love.

Established in 1976, the Olivier Awards celebrate the world-class status of London theatre, and are Britain’s most prestigious stage honours. Leading the way this year is Tom Scutt's Fiddler on the Roof which matches Hamilton's record-breaking 13 nominations, represented in every acting and creative category.

The premise of The Shark is Broken is deceptively simple; three men in a boat, waiting and talking. We meet the cast of a new film in 1974 when Bruce the mechanical shark, necessary for the whole shoot, is indeed broken. Robert Shaw, Roy Scheider, and Richard Dreyfuss would go on to star in the iconic 1975 film Jaws which sparked a lifelong fear of the ocean for many.
