RD holds secular, science-based addiction recovery support groups every Monday. We are LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent led/friendly. Harm reduction approaches welcomed. Sober curious folks are welcomed. Anyone questioning their relationship to substances is welcomed. No student observers, please.

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)

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.

Discover the inspiring life of
George Washington Carver at the National Museum in Diamond, Missouri, where he was born into slavery. He later became a renowned educator and agricultural scientist at the Tuskegee
Institute, and became one of America’s most influential figures. The day includes the museum,
an orientation film, and a hands-on activity in
the peanut lab where Carver’s agricultural innovations come to life.
The next stop is at the “World’s Largest Small
Electric Appliance Museum,” which is also located in Diamond. It is a multi-room collection of over 7,000 vintage machines ranging
from toasters to coffee pots, hot dog roasters,
waffle irons, and hair dryers, just to name a few.
It was the result of one man’s fascination with
the historic revolution of electrified kitchen and
household goods that we now think of as commonplace. Attendees may have the privilege of
a guided tour by the owner, who alone knows
the history and stories that go along with the
incredible collection.
Lunch at the museum is included. Please note:
individuals with peanut allergies should exercise caution during the lab activity at the Carver
Museum. Meeting location and other information will be sent to participants upon registration. Activity Level:
