I am from Houston so to see quality theater and in a small venue is delightful. Reminds of the the Alley theater in the round in Houston. I had gone there since it was first opened. Theater in Northwest Arkansas is wonderful. Especially at Theater Squared. I saw One Man 2 Guvnors and I laughed so hard I cried and more than once. It was hilarious and the lead actor was one of the best I have ever seen.
T2 produces world-class plays in an amazingly intimate setting. The farthest you can be from the stage is less than 15 feet. The plays they select are often Tony Award winners and they attract top-name actors and set designers. Generous support from the community allows them to subsidize ticket for people under 30. I just saw 'Proof' by David Auburn and was moved to tears. Neil LaBute's 'Reasons to be Pretty' is another T2 production that has stayed with me for years.
We love the diversity TS'd offers. And yesterday's matinee was absolutely hysterical!!! Bravo to all of the cast!
This playhouse is great. It provides such an intimate and inviting experience. I always have a good time when I go.
My wife and I were delighted with every T2 show last year due to the caliber of the actors and the intimate setting of the theater. The actors for "One Man, Two Guvnors" clearly have talent, but the humor of the play was almost entirely based on sexual innuendos and slapstick antics. There is plenty of such trash talk on network TV, which we avoid. We expect a higher class of entertainment from T2 and are writing this show off as an anomoly.
Always love everything we watch there. You can sit up close and feel immediately engaged into the performance. Usually great actors.
I saw the play "Proof" with some friends in November. GREAT play!! By far the best play I have ever been to. Highly recommend to travelers in the area.
We purchased our tickets late in the showing to "Two Guvnors" and attended the last showing. Even though we were late in the purchase we found two tickets on the front row. That was scary fun. You are in the thick of it at Theatre Squared. We loved the show, the performers were Very Good. We are from the "River Valley" and I hope we will/can attend shows in the future. If schedules allow. Great intimate theater and loved the live musical accompaniment.Good Shoow!
amazing talent and creativity. you wouldn't believe you're not in a major city, major theatre. I've been to many shows at theatre sq and never been disappointed. "hamlet" was simply unbeatable and i've seen several versions. "one man, two guvnors" was the funniest thing we've seen in decades. i still can see facial expressions and laugh sharing a phrase here and there. do not miss the chance to experience this place!
My husband and I have attended nearly every show offered for the last two years, and we've never once been disappointed. I could not stop laughing at "One Man, Two Guv'nors." The acting is always spectacular, the directing is phenomenal, and the closeness of the black box theater is intimate and communal. Couldn't recommend it more highly.
