Doors open at 6:30 p.m. tonight at Ron Robinson Theater for a reception, movie and discussion to benefit Out in Arkansas, our planned LGBT publication.

The cost is $25. Drinks and food will be served before a screening of Little Rock director Mark Thiedeman’s “Sacred Hearts, Holy Souls.” The award-winning 40-minute film about a teen at a Catholic boarding school will be followed by a discussion by Hendrix professor and Times columnist Jay Barth and others on progress toward equality in Arkansas after the historic marriage equality ruling.
