The performance is sponsored, in part,by the Arkansas Arts Council and the Conway Advertising and Promotion Commission.

The space at 1021 Van Ronkle was recently acquired by Conway Community Arts, transformed into a ‘black box’ performance space and named The Lantern Theatre. It has become the permanent home for the organization with plans to add additional plays and musicals, improv shows and late night performances. The space also includes an outside garden which will contain an area for entertaining and receptions.

Conway Community Arts is a member of the American Association of Community Theaters and has maintained a consistent cultural presence in Conway for almost 40 years.
