There’s plenty of things happening in the world of arts.
First up, The Producers opened in previews this week at Argenta Community Theater in downtown North Little Rock. The play started Wednesday and tickets are limited as several performances are already sold out. The official opening night is Friday and performances run through March 4.
Tickets range from $25 to $35 and can be purchased by clicking here.
Starring as Max Bialystock is Jay Clark, who is also the senior pastor at Pulaski Heights United Methodist Church in Little Rock. Michael Klucher is Leo Bloom and Klucher is a teacher at North Little Rock High School and also serves as the scene designer for the school’s very good drama department. The pair are seen below.
It should be noted the show contains adult humor and references and is not recommended for younger audiences.
Spamalot starts next week at the Wildwood Center for the arts in rural west Little Rock
Opening night is Friday, March 3 and will close on Sunday, March 12.
Evening shows start at 8 p.m. and Sunday matinees are at 3 p.m. Tickets are $35 and can be purchased by clicking here.
In between, the Avett Brothers are at Simmons Bank Arena on Friday night. Tickets are still available and can be purchased by clicking here.
In other tour news: Jason Isbell and the 400 unit have a new album out this summer and they’ll be playing two shows in Arkansas. The first leg of the tour wraps up in Little Rock on Sunday, May 14, Mother’s Day at The Hall. The second leg of the tour will kick off in Fayetteville at JJ’s Live on June 15. The album’s release date is June 9 and you should pre-order that. Tickets, when they become available later this month, can be purchased by clicking here.
Recently wrapped up at The Rep in Little Rock was Judge Reinhold’s run as Max Prince in Neil Simon’s classic Laughter on the 23rd Floor.
The show was good and Reinhold, who has a house in the Heights, was excellent. As one would expect for an actor who starred in some of the biggest movies of the 1980s and 1990s.
More importantly, the playbill revealed he’s working on Beverly Hills Cop IV with Eddie Murphy.
Which is genuinely exciting and is further proof that the 80s and 90s never really went away.

Consider the lobster. No, consider this.
What year is it?
Patrick Stewart and the cast of Star Trek, the Next Generation are back in one of the must watch shows of the spring.
Harrison Ford returns as Indiana Jones in a film this summer.
Also back to the silver screen as Michael Keaton returns as Batman in an upcoming movie based on the DC Comics.
These are all things that could have been said in 1989. Yet it is the year of our lord 2023.
Time truly is a flat circle.
