Dining & PARKING

TheatreSquared performs, builds, produces, and rehearses each production at Northwest Arkansas’s brand-new, 50,000-square-foot, dedicated new home for theatre at 477 W. Spring St. in downtown Fayetteville, Arkansas.

With breakfast toasts, pastries, and café service in the mornings—including espresso drinks plus nitro and cold brew on tap—and a full lunch and dinner menu paired with craft beer, premium wine, and cocktails, there’s a table waiting for you at The Commons Bar/Café. Check out the full menu and when we’re open for guests.

Dining before the show?
We recommend arriving an hour and a half before curtain to beat the rush. Entrée options include an assortment of delectable salads; hot and cold sandwiches; daily soup specials; charcuterie, hummus and cheese boards; and more.

In a hurry?
House-made sandwiches, fresh salads, and plenty of snacks are available in the Grab &Go.

Paid parking is available in the municipal lots adjacent to the theatre at $1/hour, up to a maximum of $5 for the full day’s stay. Free evening parking is available in various locations near the downtown area. For detailed parking information, view the City of Fayetteville's parking map

We recommend the Spring Street Deck, a 250-space covered garage at the intersection of Spring and West. The new garage and all downtown City lots operate on a pay-by-space model. Save time and skip the line at the kiosk by downloading the iPhone or Android app available here:

Arts IN NWA

The Northwest Arkansas region is home to world-class arts institutions and unique local arts experiences.

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art
Founded in 2005 and just a 30-minute drive from TheatreSquared in Bentonville, AR, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art is home to one of the world's most significant collections of American art, from early history to the modern day. With free admission sponsored by Walmart Stores, the museum "welcomes all to celebrate the American spirit in a setting that unites the power of art with the beauty of landscape."

Walton Arts Center
Arkansas's largest and busiest performing arts center is just down the street from TheatreSquared. Walton Arts Center "brings great performing artists and entertainers from around the world to Northwest Arkansas, connecting and engaging people through inspiring arts experiences." Programs include touring theatrical productions, live music on a large and small scale, and numerous other events. TheatreSquared was previously a resident company with Walton Arts Center.

Performing Arts
While TheatreSquared is currently Northwest Arkansas's only professional theatre offering a year-round performance season, the region also boasts a thriving community, youth, and experimental theatre scene. Trike Theatre in Bentonville and Arts Live Theatre in Fayetteville specialize in performances and training for children (learn about TheatreSquared's youth offerings here); Arts Center of the Ozarks and Arkansas Public Theatre offer quality community productions by volunteer performers year-round.

Regional Artisans & Arts Experiences
From the historic, winding streets of Eureka Springs, to War Eagle MillTerra Studios and the Northwest Arkansas Community Creative Center, NWA is filled with unique arts opportunities worth exploring. For a full catalog of Arkansas arts organizations, visit the Arkansas Arts Council's website.
