This new dramatization of C.S. Lewis' classic, set in the land of Narnia, faithfully recreates the magic and mystery of Aslan, the great lion, his struggle with the White Witch, and the adventures of four children who inadvertently wander from an old wardrobe into the exciting, never-to-be-forgotten Narnia. The intense action features chases, duels and escapes as the witch is determined to keep Narnia in her possession and to end the reign of Aslan. All the memorable episodes from the story are represented in this exciting dramatization: the temptation of Edmund by the witch, the slaying of the evil wolf by Peter, the witnessing of Aslan's resurrection by Susan and Lucy, the crowing of the four new rulers of Narnia, and more. The supporting characters are also here: the unicorn, the centaur and other forest animals, along with Father Christmas, Mr. and Mrs. Beaver and Tumnus the Faun. This story of love, faith, courage and giving, with its triumph of good over evil, is a true celebration of life.

Join Parkview Art/Science Magnet High School students for the annual presentation of Tales of the Crypt. This one-of-a-kind production features historic Arkansas figures. Although it takes place the same month as Halloween, the event is meant to be historic rather than spooky.
Under the direction of drama teacher Tamara Zinck, selected drama students are each assigned one of Mount Holly’s interred to portray. The students then write a four minute monologue or duet scene based on their research. Tales of the Crypt will be presented on Tuesday, October 8th at Mount Holly Cemetery. The gates along the east entrance of the cemetery will open to the public at 6 pm and close at 8 pm. There will be two tours; each lasting approximately 40 minutes. Attendees are encouraged to wear comfortable walking shoes. Admission is free to the public; however, donations to Mount Holly Cemetery are appreciated. If you wish to contribute as a sponsor for next year's Tales of the Crypt, please contact the board through the website at http://mounthollycemetery.org/. |
While they do not seek individual recognition, Crow Burlingame has been the major sponsor of Tales of the Crypt since 2012. They are celebrating their 100th year anniversary this year. Their contribution greatly benefits the community and enables us to continue Tales of the Crypt for future generations.View the Tales of the Crypt program below |

This year’s Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre was written and student directed by Maddie Lentz & Cooper Sikes under the supervision of Wyatt Hamilton. The student directors received a chance to experience writing a script and directing actors to achieve their vision. The actors have been given the chance to perform in a largely improvised show. This gives the actors practice thinking on their feet and is a device to let the actors exercise their abilities.

Parkview's 2017 murder myster dinner theatre, The Revenge of Alcroft Manor, was set in Bermingwell, England in a one-of-a-kind production. This completely original dinner theatre was centered around the Edwards family’s party celebrating Dr. Abraham Edwards’ third year of being a doctor. The entire town was invited, but once the party started, the murders start rolling in. No one understood what was happening, but the mystery was soon revealed.
Performances took place on September 28, 29, and 30 at MacArthur Military Museum. We hope you'll join us next fall for this annual event. |

Welcome to Almost, Maine, a town that’s so far north, it’s almost not in the United States—it’s almost in Canada. And it almost doesn’t exist. Because its residents never got around to getting organized. So it’s just…Almost.
One cold, clear Friday night in the middle of winter, while the northern lights hover in the sky above, Almost’s residents find themselves falling in and out of love in the strangest ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. Love is lost, found, and confounded. And life for the people of Almost, Maine will never be the same. ALMOST, MAINE: It’s love. But not quite. |

Clues, clues, and more clues led participants to the identity of the culprit at the MacArthur Museum of Arkansas History on September 29th through October 1st this year.
Parkview’s murder mystery dessert theatre, written by theatre students, Harrison Wyrick & Cooper Sikes, was far from typical theatre as it allowed the audience to become characters in the performance in this interactive experience. At the door, participants were given character names and a short character description so they could interact or sit back and watch the story unfold. |
