Arkansas Repertory Theatre, Professional theatre in downtown Little Rock, United States.
The Arkansas Repertory Theatre is a professional theatre company in downtown Little Rock that produces plays and musicals each season. The venue includes a main stage and smaller performance spaces that allow for productions of different sizes and formats.
The company was founded in 1976 as a small regional ensemble and grew over the following decades into Arkansas's largest nonprofit theatre organization. That growth reflects how it became a fixture in the cultural life of Little Rock.
The Arkansas Repertory Theatre is the largest nonprofit theatre in the state and brings local performers together with artists from across the country. Audiences can experience a wide range of styles in a single season, from classic plays to new works.
The theatre sits in downtown Little Rock and is easy to reach on foot from nearby hotels and parking areas. It is worth checking the current schedule before your visit, as the season runs for several months and some shows sell out early.
Since 2021, the company has staged outdoor performances at War Memorial Park and Little Rock Zoo, bringing theatre to audiences who might never set foot in a traditional venue. These open-air shows have become a way to reach people in parts of the city where theatre was not a regular presence before.
