Review: HEDDA, Orange Tree Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Oct 28, 2025

Review: LITTLE WOMEN THE MUSICAL with Studio 42 & Co at The Melody Theater in Leachville
by Theresa Bertram - May 16, 2025


It always excites me to visit a new theater, especially when it's a historic gem nestled in the heart of the Arkansas Delta. There’s a distinct charm stepping into The Melody Theater in Leachville, which began showing movies in 1948. The walls definitely echo with stories of performances past, so it was super cool to see Studio 42 & Co production of Little Women: The Musical (Book by Allan Knee, Music by Jason Howland, Lyrics by Mindi Dickstein),  come to life during the first weekend of May. Director Sarah Poe curated a remarkable cast that showcased just how rich Northeast Arkansas is in musical talent.

Review: Annette Miller Triumphs Again in GOLDA'S BALCONY
by R. Scott Reedy - Mar 1, 2024


What did our critic think of GOLDA'S BALCONY at Shakespeare & Company? Golda Meir – Israel’s first, and so far only, female prime minister – was seen by some as the straight-talking grandmother of the Jewish people.
