Students looking for a fun and creative way to spend their spring break will find it at Trike Theatre, Northwest Arkansas’ professional theatre for youth.  Trike Theatre is located in downtown Bentonville and is offering Spring Break Camps, March 23-25, with K-6^th graders creating performances to surprise their parents and friends. 

 

“We know that students are working hard right now, preparing for the benchmark exams and making up instructional time lost during the snow days. Our Spring Break camps are fun and expand students’ creative problem solving, team work skills and storytelling.” says Kassie Misiewicz, Trike Theatre’s artistic director. In Trike’s Puppets 4 U! camp, kindergarteners through second graders will work together to learn puppetry skills and build puppets with Trike teaching artist, Jason Suel.  They will explore trickster tales from around the world, make puppets and perform scenes for parents at the end of camp.  This camp for K-2^nd graders will be from 9am to 1pm and campers should pack a lunch.

 

Students in third to sixth grades will Create-a-Play! with Little Rock theatre educator, April Gentry-Sutterfield.  “Campers will collaborate to write a new work based on wacky tabloid-style news stories,” Gentry-Sutterfield says.  “Students who participate in Odyssey of the Mind will love this camp!”  The 3^rd-6^th grade camp will be from 12:30pm to 4:30pm.

 

Camp Cost is $85. There is a discount for Odyssey of the Mind students. Camps will be held at Kaleidoscope Dance Studio, 107 N.W.

The Artist’s Laboratory Theatre invites you back to another Sheet Fort Experience! The company will build a giant fort made out of sheets (like the one you made as a kid!) and will bring the audiences inside it to present “Show and Tell, “ a multimedia performance inspired by the classroom event of the same name from our school days.  The Artist’s Laboratory Theatre wants to show you what they have found! Compiled from found sources, such as Craigslist ads, love letters and lists—the show will pay tribute to the stories of the anonymous people who left their legacy in forms both ephemeral and cyber. Whether it is in the form of an insightful to-do list on a post-it note or online personal ads, home movies or street art, the show will consist of “found” items which resonate with humor and poignancy. In addition to “found” and anonymous items, the company will present podcasts and videos they feel just have to be shared because of how cool they find them to be. 

The Artist’s Laboratory Theatre is a company dedicated to storytelling through the process of experimentation. The company debuted in Fayetteville, as well as Oklahoma City, with “Bombs, Babes, and Bingo,” a play performed in random order, and was featured in the New Orleans Fringe Festival last November.  “Show and Tell” is the second performance in a series of readings and performances held in a giant sheet fort.

 

The Artist’s Laboratory Theatre is also taking submissions for the public portion of “Show and Tell.” Do you have a really incredible story or an item you’ve held dear for years? Send your story toerika@artlabtheatre.com if you’d like to participate!

Fayetteville Mayor Lioneld Jordan will kick off the 38^th Annual Fayetteville Farmers’ Market Season at9am, Saturday, April 2, 2011 on the Historic Downtown Fayetteville Square.  Honorees will include long time market members, Marcella Thompson and Vivian London.  Over 60 vendors will attend with a riot of spring flowers, produce, meats, eggs, baked goods, plants, crafts and fine art.  Giant Puppets and musicians will be among the surprise visitors.

New for the 2011 market season, SNAP/EBT (food stamp) recipients will be able to use their benefits at all the Fayetteville Farmers’ Markets with a wooden EBT token system, thanks to grant money provided by the USDA.  This USDA program was designed to keep federal dollars within the local community, increase access to fresh produce, and build safe, secure local food systems by supporting small farm families in their stewardship and preservation of valuable agricultural lands.

Affectionately referred to as “The Crown Jewel of Fayetteville,” and “Fayetteville’s Front Porch,” the Fayetteville Farmers’ Market on the Square began as a vision of Marcella Thompson and others at the Economic Opportunity Agency of Washington County in 1973 and was incorporated as The Rural Mountain Producers Exchange in 1974. Distributing only products grown or made within the 4 county area of NWA , this farmers’ market organization has grown to be one of the largest in the state, and has matured into an innovative model of local, creative, sustainable, green economic development . Additional markets, the Mill District Market on Thursday evenings and the Botanical Garden Market on Sunday mornings, were opened in recent years to keep pace with the need for increased distribution opportunities for the community.
