Kids 10-18 are welcome to audition tomorrow for Clue! My daughter has been part of several Arts Live productions. They are wonderful.

Arts Live Theatre CLUE auditions TOMORROW!

11AM-2PM

Actor ages 10-18 are invited to audition. No previous experience necessary and actors may audition anytime between 11AM-2PM.

It’s a dark and stormy night, and we’ve been invited to a very unusual dinner party. Each of the guests has an alias, the butler offers a variety of weapons, and the host is, well, dead. So whodunit? Join the iconic oddballs known as Scarlet, Plum, White, Green, Peacock, and Mustard as they race to find the murderer in Boddy Manor before the body count stacks up. Based on the cult classic film and the popular board game, Clue is a madcap comedy that will keep the audience guessing until the final twist.

Even if you don't normally go to craft fairs, it's 1000% worth your time to go see the NWA Arklug Giant Lego display at Heart of the Ozarks Craft Fair ! I know I talked about this last year also, but it is so amazing and so much detail. And this year they have added this incredible replica of our beloved former 112 Drive-In, Inc. theater! I can't even express how much this brought me joy. They even replicated the concession stands!!
And this is a very small section of their Lego display!!
Open today and tomorrow til 6!
