The Wildwood Center for the Arts in rural west Little Rock is seeking performers for its upcoming Lanterns Festival.
Dubbed, “BIGGER, BRIGHTER, BOLDER”, the festival is putting together a Las Vegas-style show and roles sought include: Emcee, Singers, Comedian/Impersonators, Circus Arts and Dance Acts.
Auditions are by appointment only but might be a good time to dust off the Elvis costume because while not noted, surely there will be room for big sunglasses and puffy sideburns.
Performers will be paid a stipend for their time and efforts.
Rent auditions: The Argenta Community Theater is putting on Resnt later this year and auditions will be held from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. this Saturday, March 25 the theater at 405 Main Street in downtown North Little Rock. If interested, email casting@ArgentaCommunityTheater.org to schedule an appointment but walk-ins are welcome. There’s a ton of parts and if you have questions, email Sydney Wolfe, Executive Director at swolfe@argentacommunitytheater.org.

Dad rock doc: Everyone’s favorite rocker Jason Isbell is coming to Arkansas for two shows later this year but you need your fix now, right? Well, you’re going to get it on April 7 when Running With Our Eyes Closed debuts on HBO. The documentary, directed by Sam Jones, features Isbell, wife Amanda Shires and follows the pair, along with backing band the 400 Unit, as they worked together on the album Reunions. Jones has an impressive resume and has directed episodes of Ted Lasso, the award-winning Tony Hawk: Until the Wheels Fall Off and I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, a film about Wilco. Jones does genius-level work and his Off Camera show is the smartest thing on TV. To watch the trailer, click the link below.
