Remembering The Group, Their Dinner Theater and Cutting Edge Web Technology

KUAF | By Kyle Kellams

Published November 30, 2020 at 1:19 PM CST

Members of The Group helped run a dinner theater business in Greers Ferry.

In this week's segment from the archives at the David and Barbara Pryor Center for Arkansas Oral and Visual History, we remember The Group, an intentional community established by young people who moved to Arkansas in the 1970s after becoming disenchanted with Hollywood. The Group's members are known for operating a dinner theater in Logan County and launching an internet service provider company out of Little Rock.
