Dear APT family,

Over the summer communities across Northwest Arkansas were affected by a massive weather event which severely impacted Downtown Rogers.  Arkansas Public Theatre has worked tirelessly to bring live theater back, shifting three productions to an alternate location in Springdale, and will continue to provide performance opportunities in the near future. 

However, the city-owned Victory Theater sustained significant damage in the May 26 storm.  City administrators, building managers, remediation companies and insurance providers continue their work to restore the building, and we are collaborating closely with all parties. The Victory Theater is an historic building, and as such, restoration and remediation efforts are now forecast to take longer than was initially anticipated, significantly impacting productions planned for 2025.

Beginning in January 2025, all Arkansas Public Theatre productions will be placed on hold while the Victory Theater is restored to full operating conditions. 

The Victory Theater has served Northwest Arkansas for nearly 100 years through multiple owners, caretakers and community groups and has been a beacon of hope in Downtown Rogers.  We believe it will yet serve that purpose for many years to come, and we are committed to its future.  As progress is made in restoring the venue, we will update our APT Family and the broader community.  Future audition notices, performance dates and APT news will be shared via traditional outlets, press releases and social media.

We thank you for your continuing support, and we look forward to seeing you all at a future production.
