September 5 - 6, 2008
"Southern Baptist Sissies"
The Weekend Theater, 7th and Chester

By Del Shores.

A roller coaster of a play that takes audiences from heights of hilarity through outrageous anger, and into caves of depression and out again, this political and religious commentary is the story of four gay men in a Southern Baptist Church in Texas and the various ways they cope when they discover urges within themselves that go against the teachings of their church. The damage of religion that preaches intolerance and foments self-hatred and the repercussions of this brand of religion are seen throughout the boys’ trek from pre-adolescence to adulthood: the pain, the doubt, the self-loathing, the confusion. The script weaves together the characters’ stories inserting Bible passages that support, contradict and call into question the fundamentalists’ teachings about homosexuality. Directed by Ralph Hyman.

Fridays and Saturdays, curtain times are at 7:30pm, for special Sunday showings (Musicals only) curtain times are at 2:30pm.

Tickets: $14.00 ($10.00 for students and seniors over 65) for Dramas and $18.00 ($14.00 for students and seniors over 65) for Musicals. Tickets can be purchased at the theater with cash, check, MasterCard or Visa.

"Vital Signs"
The Weekend Theater, 7th and Chester

By Jane Martin.

With new signs of off-beat humor, rage and imagination in the female voice, Jane Martin proves again the infinite resonance of monologue form. Moving in new directions, Martin introduces a gallery of characters who shatter expectation, reinvent the ordinary and dignify the bizarre. With humor and pointed satire, the eclectic characters in Martin's play provide glimpses into the minds and hearts of over thirty complex women in this funny, unnerving, perceptive and offbeat tour-de-force for mature audiences. These monologues offer a collage about contemporary woman in all her warmth and majesty, fear and frustration, her joy and sadness. Directed by Julie Atkins.

Fridays and Saturdays, curtain times are at 7:30pm, for special Sunday showings (Musicals only) curtain times are at 2:30pm.

Tickets: $14.00 ($10.00 for students and seniors over 65) for Dramas and $18.00 ($14.00 for students and seniors over 65) for Musicals. Tickets can be purchased at the theater with cash, check, MasterCard or Visa.

Second time with ink
Wednesday 09-03-2008 11:37am CT
Thanks to Patrick at Jesters Tattoo in Cabot for the design of the tattoo. And thanks to my wife (Joy) for calling the Cherokee Nation to get the spelling.

okay this is the second experience with ink and this one is really special to me because of my heritage. I'm half Cherokee and wanted to honor those who fell during the Trail of Tears. The writing is actual Cherokee language that translates to " Trail Of Tears". The flowers are called " Cherokee Rose" and here is the legend behind them.
The Legend of the Cherokee Rose. No better symbol exists of the pain and suffering of the Trail Where They Cried than the Cherokee Rose.The mothers of the Cherokee grieved so much that the chiefs prayed for a sign to lift the mother's spirits and give them strength to care for their children. From that day forward, a beautiful new flower, a rose, grew wherever a mother's tear fell to the ground. The rose is white, for the mother's tears. It has a gold center, for the gold taken from the Cherokee lands, and five leaves on each stem that represent the five Cherokee clans that made the journey. To this day, the Cherokee Rose prospers along the route of the "Trail of Tears". The Cherokee Rose is now the official flower of the State of Georgia


Thirteen overland detachments of about 1,000 Cherokee each were assembled. Most of these wagon trains are thought to have followed similar routes across northwest Arkansas, entering the state just east Pea Ridge (Benton County) and then veering west near Fayetteville (Washington County). In 1987, Congress recognized this so-called Northern Route of the Cherokee as the land route of the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail. Signs designating the Auto Tour Route of the national trail are posted along highways in Benton and Washingtoncounties. One Cherokee Nation detachment of about 1,200, led by John Benge, is known to have followed a separate route across north-central Arkansas, entering at the Current River in Randolph County, repairing wagons at Batesville (Independence County), and passing through Fayetteville. A separate pro-treaty group of about 660, led by John Bell, traversed the state on the military roads connecting Memphis, Little Rock (Pulaski County), and Fort Smith (Sebastian County).

Principal Chief John Ross with the final Cherokee Nation detachment of about 228 took the water route commemorated by the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail—along the Tennessee, Ohio, Mississippi, and Arkansas rivers. His wife, Elizabeth (or Quatie), died aboard the Cherokee-owned steamboat Victoria shortly before reaching Little Rock, where she was buried.

Unlike the Northern Route, which is solely Cherokee, the Arkansas River segment of the Trail of Tears National Historic Trail was traveled by other exiled Indians, including the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Muscogee, and Seminole.

North Little Rock (Pulaski County)—then merely the opposite side of the Arkansas River from Little Rock—was state’s most active site during Indian Removal. Detachments of Choctaw, Muscogee, Chickasaw, and Cherokee arrived overland on the Memphis to Little Rock Road. Choctaw and Chickasaw were ferried across the river to proceed down the Southwest Trail. Others continued overland north of the river on the military road to Fort Gibson or south of the river to Fort Coffee, both in Indian Territory. Florida Indians captured during what came to be known as the Second Seminole War moved through Arkansas mostly by water.

Many detachments traveled a combination of land and water routes. Steamboat passengers stranded by low water on the Arkansas River often had to finish the journey on foot if they could not hire wagons. Other removal routes begun on water and completed overland were on the White River to Rock Roe (Monroe County) and the Ouachita Riverto Camden (Ouachita County).

Perhaps the earliest marker recognizing a route of the Trail of Tears was placed at Marion (Crittenden County) in 1931. Other vintage markers are at Colt (St. Francis County), DeQueen (Sevier County), Fayetteville, and Springdale (Washington County). Recent interpretive markers have been placed at Helena (Phillips County), North Little Rock, Cadron (Faulkner County), Russellville (Pope County), Fort Smith, Pea Ridge National Military Park, and Village Creek State Park, with more likely to be placed in the future.
