bull shoals theater of the arts

Great family shows, but infrequent performances... you need to check to see what's coming. But the shows are generally good and the price is right.

I have attended several shows at Bull Shoals Theatre of the Arts and it is an EXCELLENT venue to see performances.I have met the Owner and his wife and they are wonderful people and obviously lovers of performing arts! The theatre is comfortable, clean and all seats have a good view. It is very "homey"-you are usually greeted by the Owners and other staff or volunteers.The venue is superb as it affords a comfortable setting to see the performance and everytime I have been there, the performers came out to greet the audience, sign autographs and just to say hi!I reccommed this theatre enthusiastically, good prices and a wonderful ambiance!Many times performers from Branson appear here and the cost of tickets are half or less of their cost in Branson.A wonderful place that I hope stays around for a very long time!

Local talent entertained for a fun evening of music, song, and stories. Even an audience member from the east coast brought her fiddle and entertained - she was 12 years old! Will go again.

The theater of the Arts in Bull Shoals is a wonderful idea bringing all types of music to this area for tourist and locals. It is a non-profit theater where ticket prices reflect only operating cost. On Monday night local and professional artist sing and play music of any kind for entertainment. No charge, but donations accepted. On Friday and Saturday nights often entertainers from Branson, Missouri come and entertain. Usually a modest fee of $15. is charged to pay these professionals. Bluegrass, country western, rock and roll and music from the 40's to present can be heard. Bull Shoals, Arkansas is lucky to have this wonderful theater so all can enjoy at a reasonable cost.

I was told that I would experience some great local talent at the theater. I really enjoyed the show, consisting of fiddlers, singers, and other musicians from Arkansas and Missouri. Several of the performers also played in the Mountain Home symphony, and one very talented girl, a 15 year old fiddle player, had recently returned from performing at the White House. The show was less formal, and not as flashy as you might see in Branson. At times audience members would even shout song requests to musicians. That was not a drawback, as the kids and adults knew how to play, and made you feel like guests at a real old time Ozarks mountain jamboree. There was just about every type of music including funny folk songs, classical, bluegrass, western swing etc. During the break you could buy a barbequed lunch for only $2-3. It was indeed a treat to be at the performance!

My husband did a show there a few years ago and had a good crowd. We really enjoyed the people and had a wonderful time with his Buck Owens Tribute Show.
