Recording devices of all kinds are strictly prohibited .
Flash photography is especially dangerous to the actors and crew.
Please respect their safety.
Turn your cell phones OFF. Even at the lowest brightness setting,
the glow of your phone is distracting to those sitting around you and to
the actors on stage. Even the smallest light can pull focus away from
the show.
If you need to leave your seat, please wait for a scene change,
if possible.
In case of an emergency, exits are located
in the front and back of the auditorium.
Restrooms are located on the mezzanine and in the lobby.

Theatre Etiquette
A Heart for the Arts
My friend, Austin, a treasured member of our crew and FOA
family, is moving to Texas. I’m happy for him and his career. He
started with us when he was just a young kid.
I’ve heard from dozens of kids – grown up now - who have said
that the FOA gave them a place to learn more about their craft,
and because of their experiences here, grew more confident and
articulate at school and with their family. I’ve heard from parents
who can testify that their child found their strength and belief in
themselves at the FOA. At school, many kids are labeled by well-
meaning teachers- and most definitely peers- as athletes,
scholars, nerds, or nobodies, and, well, we all know that people
are never that one-dimensional. At the FOA, they can re-discover
themselves all while learning more about their own inner Artist.
And that’s important. But honestly, that level of growth can happen in the arts
everywhere. That’s why I support the arts in schools and
anywhere we can practice them.
Yet there’s another level that we hope our young ones - and our
young-at-hearts - can achieve. It is a level where the story we are
telling is more important than any other aspect of our project. It is
more important than our own interests, it is more relevant than our
skills, and much larger than the part we get after auditions.
Sometimes the story is fun-loving silliness like Seussical, helping
us to demonstrate for ourselves, each other, and perhaps you, the
audience, that seeking joy and fun can be quite necessary in a
world filled with cynicism, greed, and war. Other times, stories like
Exodus and The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe lift our minds to
consider our highest values, like courage, loyalty, and
faith. Whatever the story, if we have chosen to tell it together,
then each person plays their role in telling it, and the story
wouldn’t be complete without every individual playing their role.
This level of understanding can be difficult for the most mature of
us, but we strive for it here nonetheless.
That’s what makes the Foundation of Arts unique even among
arts organizations. We try not to get the cart before the horse, so
to speak. You see, while we love the art we are creating, fully
appreciating excellence in theatre, visual arts, and dance, it’s the
process of creating that we deem the most valuable. When the
creative process is focused on teamwork, discipline,
perseverance, and creativity in an encouraging atmosphere, then
great blessings occur in the individual. And the funny thing is,
when the process is focused on the right principles, excellence in
the product seems to come naturally.
I hope Austin experienced the FOA at its best. He grew up to be
such a value to his family, his teammates at work, and our
community. And he is quite a talent. He will always have a home
here, but I’m pretty sure he will do his best, as well, to put the
story first in Texas, just like he does here at the FOA.
Thank you for supporting the arts – and if you support The FOA
because we put process over product, then I’d love to hear more
thoughts from you on why that’s important. In the meantime, find
your place in our FOA family, we would love to have you.
With a Heart for the Arts, Kristi

• Believe that engaging in the arts grows people and unites community

• Provide disciplined, creative, arts study and experiences, trying our best to enable everyone to learn, even if they can’t fully pay for it
• Are a place for children and adults to participate in goal-oriented arts-study, in a non-competitive and technique-based environment
• Serve at least 400 families per week through arts education, theatre, and outreach activities
• Offer community theatre with ten differing productions per year including The Nutcracker Ballet, musical theatre, and children’s theatre
• Stand alone as an arts organization in Northeast Arkansas that provides live theatre at relatively low ticket prices for thousands of patrons each year—and a Pay What You Can performance for each show so that everyone can grow from live theatre

• Bring an annual count of 55,000 trips into downtown Jonesboro for our community
