Last Sunday my husband and I decided to explore a new side of Hot Springs for us and accepted an invitation from a friend to view The Pocket Community Theatre’s production of The Secret Garden. Now, my friend had no way of knowing this was one of my very favorite stories when I was a little girl right up there with A Little Princess.

Not only was the performance wonderful, but I was a bit in awe of this little gem of a community theatre we have here in Hot Springs. From what I have been told, the current building was a school at some point. Walking back to my car there was one very loud question on my mind.

Why don’t we have stuff going on at this theatre every week?

I know I am going to be paying closer attention to the upcoming shows cause WE READY!

I am happy to have “discovered” our Pocket Community Theatre and now I am curious as to what other little hidden gems I can look forward to uncovering here in The Valley of the Vapors. Check them out on Facebook.
