Arkansas's heritage comes to life on the stage. It's a story that unfolds when our many talented actors The Wizard of Ozand actresses take the stage to lead us down a path to another time and place. Through the performing arts we see firsthand Arkansas's rich history. Our stages also welcome some of the finest national productions to be offered. When the curtain rises, it is evident that the performing arts are thriving in Arkansas.
