Community Calendar

Join director of community
experience, Tara Versey, for a two-part glimpse
into the inner workings of TheatreSquared.
Bring your walking shoes and be prepared to
explore almost every nook and cranny of the
building for a behind-the-scenes look at Northwest Arkansas’s remarkable regional professional theatre.
After the walking tour, we will have a Q&A discussion with artistic director Bob Ford and associate artistic director Amy Herzberg, who
adapted the play Pride & Prejudice. Fall in love
again with the sparkling wit and super-charged
romance of Jane Austen’s beloved novel. Like
the original, T2’s adaptation will both delight
and challenge, as Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy navigate the minefields of pride, prejudice,
and their undeniable attraction to each other.
TheatreSquared’s partnership with the Fulbright College of Arts & Sciences Department
of Theatre infuses this production with new energy and fresh talent.
For part 2, the following night, you will be
given the opportunity to watch the final dress
rehearsal for Pride & Prejudice before it officially
opens! (Monday-1:00 pm - 2:30 pm / Tuesday -
7:00 pm - app 10:00 pm)

"Finding Our Way | February 5 - April 26, 2026
The moment of arrival—what we carry when we seek sanctuary, transitions, and the crossing into safety. Sandra Spotts, artist. Jay Lane, artist. Familiar images made from various materials and objects, found and recycled, placed in a format of controlled chaos, is at this point in my journey, the medium of choice for the
“Finding Our Way” exhibit at Gotahold Brewing. I see society as satirical subject matter that exists in a surrealistic landscape of twisted perspective that is filled to the fences with social ironies. And yet, I still have to maintain my sense of humor about what has been and what will be with the activities du jour based on fear, war, greed, and hate. With this sense also comes my interpretations, expressed visually based on my
experiences, feelings, and health, from finding my way as an artist. I hope these pieces give you a sense of curiosity that you continue to carry with you while you are finding your way through all of this we humans call life."

This program will cover the
history of Jews in the parts of the four states
that compose the Ozarks. Dr. Mara W. Cohen
Ioannides, emerita faculty at Missouri State University, whose research focus has been on Jewish communities in the Ozarks, will look back to
the purchase of the Louisiana Territory through
the present day and examine how the Jewish
communities were founded and folded, who
they were composed of, and what made them
thrive and fail. It is an interesting journey that’s
worth knowing to better understand Ozark’s
history.

In this class, Judith Tavano,
nationally recognized generations scholar, will
explore the vital, yet often overlooked, roles women played during the American Revolution
across political, domestic, and creative spheres.
Discover how women - American Patriots and
Loyalists, British Women, and Enslaved Women - shaped the American Revolution through
craft, domestic labor, espionage, and political
voice. This class highlights women as activists
and nurturers of wartime resilience, whose
diverse perspectives and actions challenged
power and helped forge a new culture for an
emerging nation.
