Upcoming events at Faulkner Performing Arts Center

One of the things we LOVE about Northwest Arkansas are all the options we have to see amazing artists, musicians, actors and performers in action. There are several shows lined up this fall at the Faulkner Performing Arts Center (located on the Univ. of Arkansas campus) that sound so good. These shows would be perfect for a date night, girls’ night out, an outing with grandparents and/or a chance to expose your kids to performances they’ve never even imagined.

Below are the dates and names of a few of the upcoming shows at Faulkner Performing Arts Center. (Get tickets while you can!)
