Winner of the 2022 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this deliciously funny send-up of Shakespeare’s Hamlet is set to take Broadway by storm in 2023 following a sold-out run at The Public Theater. When the ghost of Juicy’s father demands that Juicy avenge his murder, fatal intent doesn't come easy to this sensitive, self-aware, young Black man in search of his own happiness and liberation. From an uproarious Southern family cookout emerges a compelling examination of love and loss, pain and joy, revenge and karaoke.
Art Basel is about to begin and Mariana, the director of a swanky modern art gallery, has a problem: her showroom is an active crime scene. Part caper comedy and part telenovela, Laughs in Spanish shows how far Mariana will go to save the show—even if it means accepting help from her mother, a larger-than-life film-and-television star who always steals the spotlight.

The Rogers Historical Museum announces a new temporary exhibit, “Last Call: History of Alcohol in Ozarks” on show March 15 through November 9, 2024.
The tangled history of moonshiners and bootleggers versus the energetic women of the temperance society all played important roles in the complicated story of alcohol in Arkansas. This exhibit follows the chronological pendulum of Arkansas law as it swings back and forth through the years between the cold sober teetotalers who campaigned for dry counties and the high-spirited bibbers who supported wet counties. See how the legacy of this historic battle led to the present-day success of more retail alcohol sales than ever before in Northwest Arkansas.
Included in the exhibit are an authentic Ozarks copper still, a mid-20th century commercial wine bottling machine, as well as many local stories and historic photographs.
