“Walkin’ side by side.”

At the crossroads outside a southeast Arkansas juke joint, a blues music icon struck the deal of a lifetime (and beyond).  Now he must convince an infernal jury that his legacy deserves redemption in this world-premiere play with music, written and directed by Little Rock-native, Steve H. Broadnax III.

“If all we are is moderate on the surface, let’s forget it, shall we?”

Two sets of parents come together to reconcile a playground skirmish between their sons.  But wine and cheese soon gives way to clashing cultures and heightened defenses, and civility goes right out the window.  This hilarious dark comedy was a smash Broadway hit, exploring the fragile rules of neighborly decorum and the individualistic impulses bubbling underneath.

“Let the Sun Shine In!”

This groundbreaking rock musical brings the love, freedom, and rebellion of the 1960s to electric life.  “The Tribe” are a groovy band of young hippies, establishing identity, exploring taboos, and championing pacifism.  But when one of their own is drafted for the Vietnam War, they are forced to face adulthood and a violent world.  With hit songs like “Aquarius” and “Let The Sun Shine In”, you won’t be able to help join the celebration and feel the power of the movement.

“What a wonder, what a marvel!”

Harlem storefront pastor Margaret Alexander champions piety with her congregation and teenage son.  But the tables are turned by the return of her estranged husband, forcing a reconciliation between her humanity and her faith.  One of iconic author James Baldwin’s only plays, this powerful, music-filled production features different guest choirs from throughout the community at every performance.

“Isn’t it funny, the tricks your memory plays?”

Amanda Wingfield worries about the futures of her adult, unmarried children – aimless Tom and challenged Laura – all the while dreaming of her gloried debutante past.  When a gentleman caller visits their cramped St. Louis apartment, he brings both hope as well as the risk of shattering illusions.  This poetic masterpiece is regarded as one of the most significant and beautiful plays in the American Theatre.
