Bob Stevenson, department head of communications and associate professor of theatre arts, said the festival is a great development opportunity for students.
“Last year’s festival was a smashing success, and one of the shows in the festival last year, University of the Ozark’s “Bug,” was selected to be part of the regional festival,” Stevenson said. “This festival is a wonderful opportunity for us our students to spend a week watching, talking and learning about theatre with the other faculty and students from the two-state area.”
Admission to the performances are free and open to the public. For more information about the festival, contact Stevenson at 479-788-7303 or bob.stevenson@uafs.edu.
