Lawbreakers and Peacemakers
  Just can't say goodbye to Fort Smith without mentioning this very entertaining group. This small theatre troupe puts on short enactments about Arkansas and Oklahoma territories; frontier days. Characterizations of the famous (or infamous?) Judge Isaac Parker, the 'Hanging Judge' who sentenced at least 79 to hanging would seem to be very heavy drama. This troupe devised a way to mix the drama and tragedies of this hectic era with laughter. Sometime you won't know if your should laugh or... Anyway, it is a fun diversion and a welcome break from driving down the Interstate.
  Their schedules seem to be very erratic. Phone 1-479-471-5150 - or e-mail them at burden2@swbell.net. They also have a web page at: lawbreakers.

Important note: If you are coming from Oklahoma, take exit 325 (in Roland) and follow US-64 into Ft. Smith. It cuts a lot of miles (and time) off your journey and is an excellent highway.
