If you have a love for the theatrical arts and need something to do besides studying and watching Netflix these upcoming weekends then you should check out some upcoming plays and performances here in Texarkana! This weekend there are not one but two events. On Saturday, November, 12th Grant Freeman will be performing “An R-Rated Magic Show,” this show is going to be filled with magic, tricks, and hilarious antics.

The other event will be “Tarfuffe: The Imposter,” by the Texarkana Repertory Company. This comedy was first staged in 1664 by the playwright Moliere and was once a very controversial play during that time. “It’s a fun show!” said Michael Wells. The show will be performed November, 11th-13th. Don’t worry if you miss it because of Grant Freeman, it will be performed the following weekend on November, 18th-20th.

However, you want to make sure to make room for Pleasant Grove High School’s iteration of Disney’s “Beauty and The Beast” Musical. Adapted from the Academy Award-Winning animated musical movie of the same name, “Beauty and The Beast” tells the story of a gruesome monster who imprisons a beautiful woman in his castle filled with talking inanimate objects. The musical will be performed on November 17th, 18th, and 19th.

Arkansas High School will be showing something we might recognize from our childhood, “Schoolhouse Rock Live!” “It’s very educational, it originates from the cartoons that helped kids learn about different things like math, English, science, and history. There are lots of different types of music and singing,” said, Camilla Gutierrez, choreographer. The musical will be performed on December 8th-9th.
