About Our Theatre
The state's only professional Shakespeare Company

About Us

Each year we produce a selection of the Bard’s plays, along with other productions, in our summer festival in Conway. The Arkansas Shakespeare Theatre, which has been featured in The New York Times, is also a major educational force in Arkansas.

 

Our professional company brings respected and experienced Shakespearean actors to Arkansas for each season, producing vibrant, engaging, lively and provocative performances for all Arkansans.
