Bard lovers and brew lovers unite!

Argenta Community Theatre will be transformed into a lantern-lit beer garden as we share an evening of beer tasting, hearty appetizers, and revelry. You’ll also be treated to Broadway Star Lawrence Hamilton’s exquisite vocal stylings as he sings from Big River, the infectious live folk/jazz/rock/pop tunes of Don’t Stop Please, and musings on Huck Finn from Porter Prize-Winning poet Greg Brownderville.

JOSH RICE

Master of Ceremonies

Josh got his start with the Bard as an intern at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London back in 2002.  Josh has been a part of AST since 2008.  Favorite roles include the Dromio twins in Comedy of Errors, Trinculo in The Tempest, and Carmen Ghia in The Producers.  For the past two seasons, Josh was also the playwright/producer/director/peformer of the 3-person version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and an orginal adaptation of Alice in Wonderland.   (more…)

Though it might seem on the surface to be just another fundraiser (which, of course, it is!), Bard Ball 2011 seeks to do more than raise money for AST’s upcoming season. The lucky folks who attend on Friday, the 18th at the Governor’s Mansion, will find out more about our summer festival but likewise will be treated to original, live performances by Arkansas musicians, writers, musicians, and actors. This night promises to be a celebration of the enormous artistic talent to be found in our state and how, with your help, we can grow and magnify that talent. (more…)
