Arkansas Repertory Theatre Announces 2017-18 Season

The season will be the company’s first under the new producing artistic director, John Miller-Stephany.

Miller-Stephany will succeed Bob Hupp as the artistic leader of the Little Rock theatre.

Martin Miller and Robert Ford have made their small company a theatrical force in Northwest Arkansas, but it hasn’t happened in a vacuum.

Hupp will leave his post as the second executive to lead the Rep for a new position at the New York theatre.

Nearing its 40th year, the $4 million LORT theatre programs big shows for audiences as varied as the state, and it’s set to expand this spring.

The Little Rock-based theatre’s 2015–16 season will include classic and contemporary musicals, plus a world premiere directed by Jason Alexander.

The composer/lyricist discusses her new show with Duncan Sheik, ‘Because of Winn-Dixie,’ and why she loves collaboration.
