Opened in 1986, our theater building was the result of years of fund-raising efforts on the part of many people. We were justly proud of the new facility. Our first production was BEST LITTLE WHOREHOUSE IN TEXAS.

Outside the building is a parking lot and gazebo, lending atmosphere to the surroundings. located in the Historic District of the city, we have made our contribution to the restoration of the old part of Fort Smith.

Every important building must have a cornerstone. Often people place 'time capsules' behind cornerstones, little treasures for future generations to discover. What might lie behind our cornerstone?

As far as we are concerned, through this door pass the finest people in the world. Where the Stage Door Johnnies just gather at other theatres. Here, we drag them inside and put them to work.

The Apple Tree was originally painted in the "O" Street building. For years, every new show produced a new "apple" on the tree. When FSLT moved to the new building in 1986, there was no discussion, the Apple Tree had to go with us.

We are blessed with a comfortable green room. Depending on the size of the cast, it's not always spacious enough but it is so much better than we used to have and everyone enjoys it immensely. It is quiet enough that the cast can run lines here while the crew is busy on the set.
