Clay’s performance was a slow burn in the best possible way—beginning with the soft, unsure presence of a young girl overshadowed by her mother’s dreams and sister’s spotlight, and ending in the radiant emergence of Gypsy Rose Lee Her transformation was executed with grace and honesty Clay allowed the audience to feel every beat of Louise’s awakening culminating in a breathtakingly confident “Let Me Entertain You” that brought down the house blending character work and movement with impressive subtlety As Herbie, Duane Jackson offered a warm grounding presence amidst the chaos of Rose’s relentless ambition Jackson’s portrayal struck the perfect balance between gentle patience and quiet heartbreak creating a Herbie that was instantly likable and deeply sympathetic His chemistry with Pryor gave their scenes weight and authenticity particularly in “Small World” and the poignant “You’ll Never Get Away From Me.” When Herbie finally reaches his breaking point Jackson delivered the moment with devastating clarity making the audience feel the cost of Rose’s tunnel vision Lexi Brooks lit up the stage with a dazzling blend of charisma Tasked with portraying the “star” child molded by Rose’s impossible expectations Brooks leaned into the role’s performative layers with skillful finesse In “If Momma Was Married,” her chemistry with Clay’s Louise was both playful and poignant capturing the shared frustrations of two sisters trapped in a life not of their own choosing honed and theatrical in all the right ways made her eventual breakaway from the act not just believable One of the evening’s most show-stopping moments came courtesy of the trio in “You Gotta Get a Gimmick”—a burlesque masterclass delivered with comic brilliance and unapologetic flair fully embraced the outrageous charm of their roles each adding her own unforgettable sparkle to the number With razor-sharp comedic timing and a fearless sense of fun the trio had the audience roaring with laughter and cheering with delight Smith’s Tessie Tura exuded tipsy elegance with cheeky confidence Airoldi’s Mazeppa brought bold brass bravado—complete with her iconic trumpet flourish—and Mathews’ Electra lit up the stage (literally and figuratively) with her glowing costume and perfectly deadpan delivery Their performance was more than comic relief; it was a joyous celebration of individuality and a cheeky reminder of Gypsy’s deeper truth: in show business authenticity—no matter how outrageous—is what truly shines The production’s emotional impact and vintage flair were elevated by the outstanding work of the orchestra, under the expert direction of Christian Waldron. From the brassy exuberance of the overture to the haunting undertones of “Rose’s Turn,” the musicians captured the full sweep of Jule Styne’s iconic score with precision and passion The ensemble performed with a sensitivity that never overpowered the actors but consistently enhanced the storytelling professional polish that made the entire production feel like a love letter to classic Broadway Band members were Kinley Beard, Cadence Garbatt, Alex Hughes, Jamie Joheim, Ethan Linder, Joel Ratliff, Max Reyes, Daniel Schoultz, Evan Smith, and Christian Waldron.  Argenta Contemporary Theatre’s Gypsy wasn’t just a revival of a beloved classic—it was a reaffirmation of the enduring power of live theatre and the extraordinary talent thriving in Central Arkansas, and we loved it!

tasks Solution: A chatbot called Charlie to handle FAQs and help ease the load Results: Significant improvements in CSAT scores due to improved customer support As Belgium’s fifth-largest banking institution, the Argenta Group is famous for its excellent customer service high-quality service is one of the most important aspects for customers and Belgium has one of the lowest customer satisfaction (CSAT) rates for banking that it’s possible to go against the grain Argenta increased their ratings and reached a CSAT score of 95% in their contact center Argenta’s customer support team gets more than 20,000 messages per month Answering requests quickly and ensuring high-quality service levels became a challenge for the team of 23 agents but they were wasting valuable time answering basic and repetitive questions The three main areas where agents lost the most time were: Together with Chatlayer by Sinch and their implementation partner Campfire AI they introduced a new team member: the Conversational AI chatbot He lives inside the Argenta mobile banking app to help answer some of the most common customer questions and complete transactions Charlie covers around 20% of all incoming questions The most often asked question and requested item is a new card reader This question is easy for a bot like Charlie to deal with instead of bothering a live agent with this simple request Charlie detects when a user asks for a new card reader and responds with a data capture flow that collects the user’s name Charlie then sends the information and the new card reader request to a specific team within Argenta who check the request and prep the card reader for dispatch The smart technology behind Charlie is the key to such smooth support Aside from Chatlayer’s conversational AI technology Argenta’s agents also use Hootsuite’s live chat platform Sparkcentral which allows a seamless hybrid fall-back set-up between agent and bot Bringing these two technologies together with the help of Campfire AI makes Charlie successful It also shows the added value that successful tech partnerships can bring to a company solved not only one but two problems for Argenta: reducing the workload for agents and meeting Argenta’s high standards for customer support Charlie handled 20% of incoming conversations which saved 24 hours of work for agents in the first one and a half months alone It’s important to note that if Charlie doesn’t know an answer the conversation gets routed to a live agent so the same high-quality conversation is supported This is a win-win for the customer and the support team As clients were getting help faster and more efficiently Charlie’s CSAT score shot up to 80% in messaging channels and 95% in the contact center Copyright © 2025

Three other Illinois-based high schools make use of the Bombers mascot: Brownstown "I've been a Bomber since kindergarten," said Mahan "It's been great to be a Bomber and represent it my entire life." The villages of Argenta and Oreana sit about 4 miles apart within Macon County offering fewer than 1,500 residents apiece to utilize the combined school system It turns out the Bombers' borders don't quite end at their two primary communities which also includes the northeast portion of Decatur "The fans are all together like we're one town," Hall said Spurling moved into the school district less than two years ago He was a seventh-grader when then-coach Steve Kirk guided A-O football to the 2018 Class 1A semifinals as the Bombers finished with a 12-1 record I was looking at MaxPreps and looking at schedules I saw they were a really good team," Spurling said it could always still get right back up to that same spot." A-O has fallen on hard times since its 2019 campaign in which the Bombers compiled a 9-2 record that included one playoff victory Kirk left the program afterward to become a Monticello assistant coach A-O has experienced uneven leadership in the wake of Kirk's departure Mike DeMeio coached the Bombers in the spring of 2021 Conner Haltom took the reigns in the fall of 2021 and now Haurberg is doubling as A-O football and boys' basketball coach "We're reinventing ourselves," Haurberg said "The big thing for us is just learning to have a culture and we haven't had the stability to have a culture." Helping to establish that culture is a coaching staff flush with former Bombers Kyle Logue and Dave Heinz are A-O assistants who graduated from the school district "They definitely want good things for our program," Haurberg said "There's so many alums there that the investment is obvious with our staff." Haurberg already possesses some thoughts on traditions the Bombers can and will adopt beginning this year "I am not a loud music in the locker room guy," Haurberg said "I am a put your headphones in and crank it all you want (guy) Haurberg said the team will develop a "cadence" that it leaves the locker room to in order to "get people fired up" ahead of opening kickoff Other planned concepts are the Bombers addressing their crowd with a helmet salute after each game as well as a practice Haurberg picked up from former Kewanee Wethersfield state-champion coach Tom Buck "He never let kids take their helmets off during practices or games," Haurberg said "You have to wait till you're off the turf." that's a unique element to A-O's football program which most of Illinois' other small-school teams cannot claim The Bombers debuted their turf playing field in 2018 Mahan said he hears opposing athletes express envy about that fact "A lot of people just love turf a lot more than grass," he said but turf is really nice to have because you can practice on it (all the time)." "It's always nice to be known for having a turf field." A-O wound up forfeiting five of its final six games last season amid low roster numbers Haurberg's expected starting lineup contains plenty of underclassmen on both sides of the ball One position group providing some age is A-O's offensive line Chandler Shugart and Jacob Doolen are projected to man the trenches Colin Likas is the preps coordinator at The News-Gazette.
