Thursdays, 6pm – our Owl Creek ride (March-October) – We meet at Owl Creek Elementary and have 3 different groups, depending on participation.

a “B” group focused on group riding skills (16-19mph), no-drop group (meaning no one left behind),

and a “C group/ Beginner’s Group” – which is a more relaxed ride where newer cyclists learn about group riding basics and experienced riders enjoy a more social ride.

Singo - Musical Bingo

10/09/2025 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

It's time to enjoy your favorite music with SINGO Music Bingo at Smokin' Oak hosted by our friendly staff!
Each week we have some great music with fun prizes and delicious food!
SINGO is a free to play entertaining musical spin on the traditional Bingo. Instead of listening for a number, players are listening to their favorite music. Join us for fun, prizes and great food, and great music!
How to play:
Each player receives a free SINGO card printed with the titles of popular songs. While Singo randomly plays song clips of "the good parts", players can sing along and mark matching song titles on their cards. (singing optional - but it's tough not to!)
How to win:
The first player to mark five songs in a row and to shout "SINGO" wins the round! (we promise we won't make you sing the songs)
This casual game is fun for a small group or a crowd that loves good music!
Enjoy our fresh wood-fired pizzas, hand tossed, salads, and drinks from our 40 self-pour taps while you play... you may even win some prizes along the way!

AND NEW THIS YEAR!! On Saturday, October 11th, the lasers and DJs will move to the newly completed Upper Ramble for a totally different Phantasmic experience. This Glow Party will be from 7 to 10pm and is also free for all ages to participate.

Malcolm X and Redd Foxx Washing Dishes at Jimmy's Chicken Shack in Harlem

10/09/2025 7:30 pm

Written by Jonathan Norton
Directed by Dexter J. Singleton
WORLD PREMIERE | Developed at the 2024 Arkansas New Play Festival

Two young Harlemites – Little and Foxy – form an unlikely friendship over leftover fried chicken and dirty dishwater. Then a long hot summer of heartbreak, betrayal, and racial uprising moves them farther from each other—but much closer to the history-making American icons they are destined to become. This electrifying world premiere blends sharp humor with raw humanity, revealing the laughter, struggle, and brotherhood that shaped two legends. Commissioned by TheatreSquared.
