Children’s Theatre
At the Arkansas Museum of Fine Arts, we believe in the power of live theatre to shape young lives. That’s why we’ve been writing, producing, and staging exceptional live theatre for youth and family audiences for more than 40 years.
Based on contemporary stories and classic tales, a variety of stage performances come to life at AMFA with fantastic characters, brilliant lighting, colorful costumes, and a little magic.
