Based on the same source material that inspired Fiddler on the Roof, She Loves Me, with Music by Jerry Bock & Sheldon Harnick, and Book by Joe Masteroff, captures the charm of a classic holiday romance. The musical transports audiences to Maraczek’s Parfumerie, a refined European perfume shop in the 1930s where daily tensions, personal ambitions, and secret affections bubble beneath the surface. At the center of the story is the prickly yet endearing relationship between clerks George Nowack, played by Trae Warner, and Amalia Balash, played by Bonnie Maisen. They spar relentlessly at work while unknowingly falling in love with each other through anonymous letters.

To finish out the summer season at Pocket Community Theatre in Hot Springs, the younger members took audiences on a magical, monster-slaying quest with She Kills Monsters: Young Adventurers Edition. Performed the first weekend in September, the show transported audiences from the small-town stage into a realm where imagination ruled, swords gleamed, and friendships were forged in the fires of battle. With colorful backdrops and the kind of youthful energy that can only come from a cast of passionate performers, this production was like stepping straight into a Dungeons & Dragons campaign brought to theatrical life. 

‘I’m a believer’… that the Pocket Community Theatre’s cast of Shrek The Musical truly brought a fairytale to life in Hot Springs. Running from August 1 through August 10, this production was a spellbinding mix of humor and boundless talent. From the very first note, the stage became a kingdom where ogres, donkeys, and enchanted creatures roamed freely, and I couldn’t help falling in love with every moment. The colorful costumes, clever set design, and lively choreography made this show a “swamp-tacular” delight, enchanting both young and old alike.
