It's going to be an another exciting year for Create Little Rock! We've got an awesome group of board members ready to continue the growth of the organization. We've hit some major milestones over the past couple of months: we've crossed the 2,500 member mark, surpassed 5,000 Facebook followers, and this month marks our 10-year anniversary! We've got more great programming in store for you in 2020, including our impressive Unplugged Speaker Series, the dynamic new Get Cultured Series, the philanthropically-geared Serve The Rock event, and, of course, the always engaging monthly happy hours. For the happy hours, we'll be checking out some brand new venues, as well as visiting some old favorites. Finally, as always, we'll be keeping you up-to-date on other events and concerts happening around town that we think might be of interest to young professionals. We look forward to seeing you soon!

We're excited to be among the first to check the place out!

Robinson Center Presents:
Wicked
Showing Now through Jan 19th

WICKED, the Broadway sensation, looks at what happened in the Land of Oz…but from a different angle. Long before Dorothy arrives, there is another young woman, born with emerald-green skin—smart, fiery, misunderstood, and possessing an extraordinary talent. When she meets a bubbly blonde who is exceptionally popular, their initial rivalry turns into the unlikeliest of friendships…until the world decides to call one “good,” and the other one “wicked.”
