The Reynolds Performance Hall at the University of Central Arkansas is gearing up for its biggest season yet. Officials at the Reynolds Performance Hall recently unveiled the lineup for its impressive 20thseason.

Opened on September 15, 2000, the Reynolds Performance Hall has been a major artistic and cultural force in Conway and Central Arkansas. With Broadway shows, music concerts and other cultural performances, the Reynolds has thrilled and educated audiences for two decades.

This year, they are bringing multiple series of performances, from the Broadway Series to the Pops Series to the Distinguished Speakers series.

Amanda Horton, director of the Reynolds Performance Hall, emphasizes the significance of the Main Stage EdUCAtion series to the local and regional community. The program, which currently features six shows, has reached 12,000 students, teachers and visitors since its inception.

“For many of our students, it was certainly the first time that the time they had ever been in a theater or experienced live performing arts. For some of the students, it was the first time they had ever gone to a college campus,” she says.

“This is a thrilling monumental year for Reynolds Performance Hall as we enter our 20thseason of bringing amazing talent to Central Arkansas. What better way to celebrate this season than by adding the ‘Best of Reynolds’ Series that will bring back some of our patron’s favorite shows,” Horton says. “This season has a dynamic variety of performances that includes award-winning Broadway musicals, acclaimed speakers, talented musical groups and artists from across the world.”
