Ed McClure, artistic director for Arkansas Public Theatre in Rogers, says choosing a season is a lot like selecting stores for a mall: The musicals are the big, flashy anchor stores, and the rest are the boutiques that fill in in between. The final contract signing for APT’s 34th season, announced at a gala March 1 at the Victory Theatre, was a little more stressful than most, with the 2020 summer musical selection changing right up to the wire. McClure explains what happened and discusses the rest of the 2019-20 offerings with Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette's features editor Becca Martin-Brown in this podcast. Read more about the season in Sunday’s What’s Up!, inside the Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
