About the Theatre
Located at 405 Main Street, in the heart of North Little Rock’s Argenta Arts District, the Argenta Contemporary Theatre serves as a centerpiece of a vibrant artistic community. From crowd-pleasing musicals to vibrant new works to theatrical classics, there is truly something for everyone to love on the ACT stage.
But, there is so much more to this state of the art facility than just our top-notch plays and musicals!
Argenta also coordinates educational programs for all ages, hosts community and cultural events, and is available as a flexible venue for weddings, events, performances and more. Founded in 2010 by Vincent Insalaco and Judy Tenenbaum, The Argenta Contemporary Theatre strives to bring performance and participation in the arts to Central Arkansas now, and for generations to come.
