Theatre of the Republic

Take a drive down Conway’s Main Street and you’ll notice it immediately – an old-timey theater sign protruding from the building, the lights livening up the street and inviting visitors in for a night of entertainment. Their motto, “For the People, By the People” signifies their status as a neighborhood theater that casts local talent in nationally-acclaimed dramas, comedies, and musicals. The 2014-2015 lineup included Pulitzer prize-winning “Rent,” Tony Award-winning “Avenue Q,” “The Christmas Story,” “Gypsy,” “Smokey Joe’s Café,” Young Frankenstein,” and “Extremities.” So if what you need is a night of homegrown entertainment, this Conway gem has just the ticket.
