BWW Review: OUR TOWN at Arkansas State University Beebe
by Theresa Bertram - Apr 27, 2022
Set in Grover's Corner, New Hampshire, OUR TOWN, written by Thronton Wilder in 1937, is a staple for theaters everywhere, and it is tradition that every theater performs it, at least, once. And though I've seen it several times, I am always interested to see how each company interprets this piece of classic literature. I was especially excited to do my first college review with the Arkansas State University-Beebe's Theatre Department Thursday, April 21, because when you go to a theater where education is top priority, intriguing scenarios can develop. Also, my daughter has accepted a scholarship to this program in the fall, so I wanted to check it out, and I am happy that I did.

Kyshona Releases New Video 'Fallen People'
by Kaitlin Milligan - Dec 20, 2019
Nashville-based singer/songwriter Kyshona has released the official video for 'Fallen People,' a track from her forthcoming album Listen. 'In a time when we are all so divided, this song was written as a reminder that each and every one of us has an obstacle we're trying to overcome, an emotional wound we are living with, and a struggle that we're walking with everyday,' she says of 'Fallen People.” The video features news ripped from the headlines--scenes of chaos, protest, and war--juxtaposed with Kyshona performing in the midst of serene, natural beauty. Written with Jenn Bostic and Maureen Murphy, 'Fallen People' is a reflection on how we see others; its classic feel encourages us to handle each another with care, and to realize that we can find commonality in our humanity.
