UALR Theatre and Dance student playwright Ganelle Paxton weaves an intricate plot involving the 100-year anniversary of a Baptist church in Trinity, Ark., with the suicide of a young female parishioner occurring on the very day of the celebration in Numb.

The original play by graduating senior Paxton is teamed with a student abridgement of Godspell, an adaption by graduating UALR theatre major Alexis Qualls, to highlight UALR’s Fringe Festival 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, Nov. 16 to 18 and 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 19, at the Center for Performing Arts’ Haislip Arena.

“A stellar cast of UALR students enacts Christ’s campaign for salvation in this version of the famed musical,” said Jay Raphael, chair of the Department of Theatre and Dance. “Pop melodies and Broadway jazz dance weave together in this smash entertainment. Who knew Heaven and Hell could be so much fun!”

Tickets are $7 general admission and $5 students and seniors. For more information, call (501) 569-3456.
