"We believe being the host city of Arkansas Shakespeare Theatre is a true reflection of our city's character."
Oliver!
Based on Charles Dickens’ classic novel Oliver Twist, this musical adaptation follows the harrowing journey of the young orphan as he navigates the seedy underbelly of Victorian England in search of a family to call his own.
"In a very short time, Arkansas Shakespeare Theatre has gone from being another artistic offering among many into a ‘must see’ cultural institution. I am so proud of what they've done, and so thankful it's here."
Gilbert Baker
