If you want to participate in an exceptional theatre experience, Pocket Community Theatre is the place to go. Located at 170 Ravine Street in Hot Springs, this little gem of a playhouse welcomes both new and returning patrons to live performances of popular musicals, comedies, thrillers, and dramas.
Behind the scenes, Pocket Theatre management emphasizes community involvement, demonstrating strong commitment to welcoming newcomers into its volunteer network. For example, Pocket’s June selection, Ripcord, includes three cast members new to the Pocket stage as well as six veteran Pocket Theatre actors. Ripcord centers on two “women of a certain age” who become unlikely roommates at a senior living facility. They make a bet; all manner of mayhem follows.
Two Ripcord cast members learned about the many volunteer opportunities this community theater offers when they attended Pocket Theatre’s Volunteer Day Open House last May. Both were impressed by the rich variety of ways a person can become involved with “The Pocket”: from taking tickets to organizing props, reading plays as a group, to helping with “Pocket Kids Camp.”
If you want to learn more about how to join the Pocket Theatre family, feel free to attend the upcoming Volunteer Day, Friday, May 15, at 6:00 PM. You can tour the theater and discover what The Pocket Community Theater has in store for you.
Ripcord opens with weekend performances on June 5, 6, 7, 12, and 13, at 7:00 PM, and June 7 and 14 at 2:00 PM. For more information, visit pockettheatre.com, Facebook: Pocket Community Theatre, or call 501-623-8585.
