THEATER: New troupe
Actors Theatre of Little Rock, a new professional theater group, billing itself as "home for fearless works" that will produce "boundary-breaking theater" with "substantial community partnerships," hits the "stage" with "Bard @ the Bar: A Midsummer Night's Dream," 7 p.m. Aug. 11 at the Rail Yard, 1212 E. Sixth St., Little Rock.
Producing Artistic Director and co-founder Mark A. Burbank describes the production as "presenting [William Shakespeare's comedy] in a totally new way," in a casual setting and in 60 minutes. Co-founder Shelby-Allison Hibbs, the group's executive director, directs. Admission is by free ticket (donations are encouraged); visit centralarkansastickets.com.
The show kicks off a seven- play "Season Zero," by way of introducing the group before its official first calendar-year season starts in January 2023.
