PlatypusJesus:

The '''Community Theatre of Little Rock''' is a nonprofit, volunteer organization of actors, directors, producers, designers, and engineers who produce theater events in the [[Woolly Fine Arts Building]] in the [[Arkansas School for the Blind]], although it has also played in many other venues. Before 1960, it used The Parish Hall at 9th and Louisiana, Trinity Parish Hall, Robinson Auditorium, a renovated feedstore at 609 Center Street and The Medical Center Auditorium as its home. It moved on to National Investors Life Building, the Arkansas Arts Center, and Student Union until 1980, when it moved to Arkansas Arts Center, UALR, the Excelsior Hotel, The Arkansas Repertory Theatre, Little Rock Garden Council and Hall High School. It became stable at the Capital Keyboard Theatre until it is offered the Wholly Auditorium in 2002. The Wholly Auditorium certainly provides them with a enough room with its 500 seats and a 37 foot proscenium stage. Auditions for the Community Theatre of Little Rock are open to the public The Community Theatre and no experience is necessary. Likewise, it is entirely dependent on people volunteering for every position available. To volunteer or get more information, call (501)-663-9494 or email Communitytheatreoflittlerock@hotmail.com.

The Community Theatre of Little Rock, which has been in operation since 1956, is located at 2600 West Markham.

Born on June 14, 1943 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, '''Jim Guy Tucker''' and his family moved to Arkansas not long after his birth. After attending public school in Little Rock, Jim Guy went to Harvard University and graduated with a bachelor of arts in government in 1964. While attending the University of Arkansas Law School, he also served as a civilian correspondent in the Marine Corps Reserves, which he wrote about in his 1968 book ''Arkansans at War''. After graduating in 1968, he became a member of the Rose Law Firm in Little Rock until 1970, when he won the position of prosecuting attorney for the Sixth Judicial District, and following this, Jim Guy found himself elected as Arkansas Attorney General in 1972. As success followed success for Jim Guy, he married Betty Allen in 1975 and won election to represent the Second Congressional District in 1976. However, when he decided to run for the Senate against [[David Pryor]], he lost in the primaries.

After this defeat, he went into private law practice as a partner in the Tucker and Stafford firm. After losing in another race against [[Bill Clinton]] as governor in 1982, he stayed in law practice until 1990, when he won the position of Lieutenant Governor; however, Bill Clinton campaigned for presidency in 1991, and Jim Guy became the acting governor, and when Clinton resigned in 1992, Jim Guy officially became governor. It wasn't long into his governorship before he began experiencing controversy, though. When he attended Clinton's inauguration in 1993, acting governor [[Jerry Jewell]] pardoned two convicts and extend executive clemency to three others. When he returned to this news, he set forth to limiting the powers of an acting governor. In 1994, Jim Guy was officially elected into the position of governor to a four-year term, but this term was quickly marred by the Whitewater investigation involving Clinton. In 1996, he was convicted of misapplying a $150,000 loan, and since a felon cannot serve as governor, he was forced to resign from office, and [[Mike Huckabee]] was his replacement.

==Location and History==

Located at #1 Jonesboro Drive, the '''Little Rock Zoo''' has over 725 animals representing over 200 species, but its beginnings were quite a bit more modest. In 1926, the zoo had two animals: a timber wolf and a brown bear. Not to worry, though, because now the zoo is the only public one in Arkansas and is accredited by the American Zoo and Aquarium Association. The zoo offers all that can be expected from a zoo, including elephants, rhinos, giraffes, lions, tigers, monkeys, apes, and even their newest addition, sloth bear cubs (as of December 26, 2004).

==Conservation Efforts==

The '''Little Rock Zoo''' is not just a place to look at and pet pretty animals, however. It is also highly involved in conservation efforts. The zoo participates in the Species Survival Plan, which allows zoos to have endangered species so that they can both preserve the species and educate people about those that are endangered. Among the endangered species at the '''Little Rock Zoo''' are a Black Rhinoceros, Lowland Gorillas, Siamangs, Siberian Tigers, Red Panda, and Red-ruffed Lemurs. The '''Little Rock Zoo''' also supports the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission, AZA Bear TAG - Alaska Brown Bear Project, Biodiversity and Elephant Conservation Trust, Bushmeat Crisis Task Force, Cheetah Conservation Fund, Chiquitano Forest Conservation Program, Conservation Breeding Specialist Group, International Elephant Foundation, International Otter Colloquium, and many more conservation projects. A full list can be found at [http://www.littlerockzoo.com/conservation.htm Little Rock Zoo Conservation Efforts].

==Hours and Ticket Prices==

From October first to March thirty-first, the zoo is open from 9:00 am - 4:30 pm. From April first to September thirtieth, the zoo is open from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm. The zoo only closes on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Day. Ticket prices are $8.00 for adults (13+), $6.00 for children (1-12) and senior citizens, $4.00 each for groups (ticket reservations must be made ten days in advance and at least fifteen people must be in the group), and infants attend for free. If you visit the zoo often and want to save money while also helping the zoo, you can become a member.

David Pryor

PlatypusJesus:

'''David Pryor''' (born August 29, 1934)is a former Arkansas senator and first Dean of the [[Clinton School of Public Service]]. He is the father of the current Arkansas Democratic Senator [[Mark Pryor]]. David Pryor was born in Camden, Arkansas, where he attended public school and, after high school, spent some time at Henderson State Teachers College before moving to the University of Arkansas and graduating in 1957. That same year, he founded the ''Ouachita Citizen'' and published it until 1960. In 1964, he graduated from the University of Arkansas Law School and, during the same year, was admitted to the bar.

Before graduating from law school, Dadid Pryor was elected the state representative in 1960, reelected in 1962 and 1964, then elected to both the Eighty-ninth Congress and the Ninetieth Congress on August 9, 1966. The reason for this double election is due to the resignation of Oren Harris from his seat in the Eighty-ninth Congress. He served until January 3, 1973, and though he failed to receive a nomination for a seat in the senate in 1972, he served as the Governor of Arkansas from 1975 to 1979, which helped him to receive a seat in the senate in 1978, where he stayed until January 3, 1997.
