About The Ken:

The old Ken Theatre in downtown McCrory, Arkansas was, in its former life, a movie house much like those found in every small town.  After years of providing entertainment to those in its community, The Ken fell victim to the advent of multi-screen cinemas built in larger neighboring towns.  Years of abandonment left the once beautiful Ken in substantial disrepair.

But new life has been brought to the Ken!  With the efforts of McCrory residents Doyle and Margaret Ann Fowler as owners and Babbie Lovett as program director, The Ken is experiencing a rebirth.  In this new venture The Ken Theatre has been magnificently restored with state of the art sound, lighting and projection and beautifully finished oak appointments.  Once again the Ken is poised to present movies for entertainment, but in this new life as a regional performing arts center, it is home to so much MORE! 

As a regional performing arts center, the Ken Theatre provides children and adults the opportunity to participate in classes offered in production, technical support, stage, dance, chorus, and more.  The Ken is also unique in that it offers people live theatrical and musical entertainment in a small town setting. 

The Ken Theatre accommodates approximately 230 people with combined floor and balcony seating.  There is not a bad seat in the house!  Come join us and take your place in one of the grand red theatre seats in this handsome regional performing arts center.
