CIRQUE DU SOLEIL has announced that it will bring its production of “Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour,” featuring 49 dancers, musicians and acrobats, to North Little Rock’s Verizon Arena on April 22-23. Tickets range from $50 to $150 and are available at cirquedusoleil.com/MichaelJackson or by calling 1-800-298-4200. DISCOVERY CHANNEL will premiere a new six-episode show Feb. 25 about a family rivalry in Hardy titled “Clash of the Ozarks.” According to the press release, Hardy is “a land where emotions and territory conflicts outweigh a law-abiding society as the townspeople fight to protect what is theirs.” One of the main characters of the show is named Crowbar and is described as seeking “only to work his land and hunt for what he needs to survive.” His nemesis is a man named Kerry Evans, who was “raised on the south side of the tracks in a tiny oneroom house.” Secondary characters include “a mountain man who doesn’t own a pair of shoes and hasn’t lived in a house for years” and “Sevella, a tough gun-toting elderly woman who is fiercely protective of her family and is rumored to be clairvoyant.” THE ARKANSAS EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION NETWORK (AETN) is now accepting entries for its 2014 student film showcase, highlighting works by students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Select films will be broadcast on AETN (or online at aetn. org) and screened at the Little Rock Film Festival and the Hot Springs Documentary Film Festival. Scholarships are also awarded. Entries can include documentaries, narrative or animated shorts and music videos and should be submitted by March 28. Winners will be decided in May.
