TheatreSquared

What do candy bars, book clubs and Kentucky bluegrass have in common? They’re all part of a quiz-filled interview marking TheatreSquared’s 20th season and free community celebration.

A film festival can be more than just screening movies. On today's show, we hear about the 5th annual Fort Smith International Film Festival, which celebrates not just art, but culture. We also hear about the 20th season of TheatreSquared with a quiz connected—barely—to each of the season’s productions. Plus, River Valley headlines from Michael Tilley.

Today’s episode is a reflection, a sonic postcard if you will, from the recent Sound Perimeter LIVE concert at TheatreSquared in Fayetteville, an event that was possible thanks to the support of the University of Arkansas Women’s Giving Circle and the Reflexions Music Series.

“Sound Perimeter” is a podcast and regular Ozarks at Large segment created and hosted by Lia Uribe, professor of music and an associate dean at the University of Arkansas Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences. Wednesday evening, Lia hosted the first “Sound Perimeter Live”, an intimate concert and community conversation at TheatreSqaured in downtown Fayetteville.

On Mondays, Ozarks at Large features Sound Perimeter, a show hosted by Lia Uribe that aims to expand your musical boundaries. Next week, those boundaries will grow even more when Lia presents Sound Perimeter Live at TheatreSquared.

TheatreSquared is staging "In the Grove of Forgetting," a world premiere from Bob Ford, the company's artistic director. He says the production reinforces TheatreSquared's mission of staging new works and engaging new audiences.

The 20th run of shows for TheatreSquared kicks off in August with "Ken Ludwig's The Three Musketeers."

On Today's show we hear the week's latest Fort Smith headlines from Talk Business and Politics' Michael Tilley. Plus the National Park Service prepares for busy season amid staffing cuts and a preview of Theatre Squared's 20th season.
