Mena, AR

Nestled at the foot of the Talimena Drive that connects Mena, Arkansas and Talihina, Oklahoma sits this charming theatre that produces five shows a year. The Ouachita Little Theatre, 610 Mena St., in Mena, which was once a Lyric Movie Theater, transitioned to a live theatre in 1985 and has been going strong, minus Covid and a couple of tornadoes. For my first visit, but definitely not my last, I was able to catch DISNEY’S THE LITTLE MERMAID THE MUSICAL, which ran from July 26-August 4. Magically transporting us under the sea, this theatrical troupe mesmerized the young and young at heart and made us part of their world.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

Reviewed by Barry Lenny, Thursday 8th August 2024. Another production of that very popular, multi-award-winning musical, Chicago, has reached Adelaide, and it opened to a full house of very enthusiastic theatregoers. The musical, which is based on a 1926 play by Maurine Dallas Watkins, takes us back a century to the Roaring Twenties, the era of greater sexual freedom, gangsters, prohibition, flappers, and jazz. She was a journalist and her play is based on real crimes on which she reported in her work. The book is by Fred Ebb and Bob Fosse, with music by Ebb, original direction and choreography by Fosse, and lyrics by John Kander. It had its premiere in 1975, and this Broadway revival, directed by Walter Bobbie, is from 1996.

Dorothy Dandridge was one of Hollywood’s first Black sex symbols and the first black actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress. Around 1930, Dandridge relocated to Los Angeles, California, with her family. A few years later she found success with her new musical group, the Dandridge Sisters, which included sister Vivian and their friend Etta Jones. The group landed gigs at the famous Cotton Club in Harlem and performed with top acts such as the Jimmie Lunceford Orchestra and Cab Calloway. As an African American singer, Dandridge confronted early on the segregation and racism of the entertainment industry. She may have been allowed on stage, but in some venues, she couldn't eat in the restaurant or use certain facilities because of the color of her skin."
