The UALR Department of Theatre Arts and Dance will present Kate Crackernuts, February 17-21 in the Haislip Arena Theatre.

Based on the English tale by the same name, Kate Crackernuts is part adult fairytale and part raver-infused dream state in which the audience is led down the rabbit hole, into the woods and under the mountain in search of what all fairy tale heroes and heroines crave: escape from reality, otherwise known as happily ever after.

Written by Sheila Callaghan, the play has been called by the Los Angeles Times, “…a strange, dense, brilliant wordplay…part poetry slam, part rave, part dog-eared storybook theater, and all edgy, infectious, ultra-theatrical entertainment.”

Evening performances are Wednesday, Feb. 17 through Saturday, Feb. 20 at 8pm. The Sunday Feb. 21 performance begins at 2:30 p.m. Student tickets are $5 and tickets for the general public are $7. The box office opens on Wednesday, February 10. For more information, call 569-3456.

Please Note: The play contains mature language and sexual themes. It is not appropriate for young audiences.
