From the moment the shovels broke ground on TheatreSquared's new building in 2017, one goal was crystal clear: In addition to being a fulcrum for cutting edge theater, the building would also be a community hub a gathering place for everyone, not just for those seeing a show. The Commons Bar/Cafe offers a cozy place to have breakfast, lunch or dinner or to just grab a cocktail in the main area or on its outside balcony or patio. The sides of the building are flanked by wide, inviting concrete steps, urging passers-by to rest or enjoy a coffee. And the floor-to-ceiling windows allow a bird's eye view of the interior, leading Architecture Magazine to dub T2 "a theater that lures the public inside."
Calling all actors, ages kindergarten and up! Trike Theatre has lots of openings to fill and will have auditions from noon to 5 p.m. April 10 for all the productions in their newest season.
Even history has to keep up with the times. It's not that facts change, but our interpretation of them does and did, when the Walton Arts Center and Trike Theatre prepared to mount a new production of "Digging Up Arkansas."
