Back to Performing Arts 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 the new AMFA with fantastic characters, brilliant lighting, colorful costumes, and a little magic.

Thanks to funding from the Alice L. Walton Foundation, AMFA is thrilled to offer reimbursement for the cost of school bus transportation to the Museum on a first-come, first-served basis. Please contact us to learn more.
