Children and teens looking for something to spotlight their summer might want to check out two free summer theater workshops being offered by the Arts Council of Mississippi County.

The first workshop will be an introduction to acting and is open to kids 7-12 years old.  It’s designed for students who have little or no experience in theater.

Participants must be able to read well enough to perform unassisted using an unfamiliar script or text.

Mother's Day is Sunday, May 12.  This year, celebrate it with a little girl power time!

Learn skills practiced by Parkin females of the past at a workshop tailored specifically for today’s women.

Activities will include fire starting, clay digging, pottery making, Dutch Oven cooking (which will result in lunch) and more.

Find out how women lived day to day throughout time and learn a few new skills yourself. 

Get your girlfriends and mothers together and come be an outdoor woman Mothers’ Day Weekend!

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum’s traveling exhibition, “Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race,” will premiere on Thursday, April 25, at the Dean B. Ellis Library at Arkansas State University. The exhibit will run through June 16.

“Deadly Medicine: Creating the Master Race” examines how the Nazi leadership, in collaboration with individuals in professions traditionally charged with healing and the public good, used science to help legitimize persecution, murder and, ultimately, genocide.
