Stoic ‘Warriors’

New York-based Theatreworks USA brings its touring production of “Warriors Don’t Cry” to the Reynolds Performance Hall, University of Central Arkansas, 201 Donaghey Ave., Conway, for a performance at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday.
The theater company describes the stage piece, inspired by Melba Pattillo Beals’ Little Rock Nine memoir of the same name, as “a catalyst for deeper discussion about social responsibility, civil discourse, social media, community engagement and freedom,” according to a news release.
A young activist, reluctant to cope with one more tragedy in her school, is ready to call it quits on leading her million-plus Instagram followers in the fight for social justice until Beals “steps out of history and into [her] phone to share the story of her battle to integrate Little Rock Central High School in 1957,” the news release explains.
Following the performance will be a presentation by the Writeous Poets, a youth-performance spoken-word collective from Central High, and a question-and-answer session with its founder, Stacy James McAdoo.
Tickets are $15, $5 for children, free for UCA students. Call (501) 450-3265 or (866) 810-0012 or visit uca.edu/Reynolds.
