One of only two year-round professional companies in Arkansas, Actors' Equity-affiliated, staging seven productions a season in a purpose-built downtown Fayetteville home with two intimate theaters and a glass-walled performance space. The draw is the Arkansas New Play Festival: a Director of New Play Development commissions scripts here, and playwrights like Qui Nguyen and Lisa D'Amour have built work on site. The Wall Street Journal called it 'an outstanding drama company clearly worthy of its fine reputation,' and the NEA has funded it ten times. What you see may be having its first performance anywhere.
