TheatreSquared wins 2020 american architecture award

Friends,

We're thrilled to announce that Northwest Arkansas's theatre has been awarded the prestigious 2020 American Architecture Award, honoring the best new buildings designed and constructed by American architects in the U.S. and abroad.

In 2015, a group of community members helped us craft a vision for a new home, writing: "We see a gathering place—a theatre commons... a permanent home for remarkable theatre done well and with passion."

In partnership with Marvel Architects and Charcoalblue, with support from the Walton Family Foundation's Design Excellence Program—and a massive upswell of community input and support—those words became first a design, and then a reality.

Even in the midst of a global crisis, the building now shines as a beacon for what a spirited community can do together when we work together for a common purpose. The nation is taking note.

Thank you for being a part of our remarkable audience. There's still so much more to come. Sincerely,

Bob Ford, Artistic Director
Martin Miller, Executive Director
