I have participated in many productions there. It's a historical building that was a movie theater that was converted into community theater. To me, it's reasonably priced and good entertainment. By supporting the Royal Players, you help young and old alike, develop their talents as thespians. You just never know how far someone will go; perhaps all the way to Broadway or the Silver Screen.

Leonard Lequieu

It was great.

White Railing

Had a blast watching night of the living dead.

Berry Beard

Nice old theater with first class live performances. The Young Player's are great!

Jursh Lovins

This was the place to hang out back in the day!

Jack Clay

A theater where my family and I have shared many laughs, tears, and memories. A remarkable building indeed.

Veronica Meadows

By no means did I expect professionalism from the musical Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, but the changing of the plot line was so confusing! The Vulgarians were supposed to be part of Mr. Potts' story to his children while they're on the picnic, NOT REALITY! And also, I felt the VERY Adult jokes that were slipped into this play that was taken from a children's book was completely unnecessary.

Dolores currington Roby

Great play. Well done.

Gayla Volz

I was surprised at how unkempt it was. Trash and empty soda cups sitting around. Door open to a a store room with cleaning supplies. Wasn't nice to see, also kids could get in there. Someone should donate some money to replace the old seats. I nearly fell over in a broken one.

Lynn Woodall

Attended the June 7th performance of “Steel Magnolias “. It was my first time there and I will definitely go back for future plays. The cast did a wonderful performance and we were all getting out our Kleenex at the end. Highly recommend this play.

Jeff Freeman

great old-time venue for theatre and music

Carol Ilten

Royal is a lovely community theater with interesting plays and musicals. Converted from a movie theater, the lobby is small but the seating is comfortable and the acoustics are good. Obviously the quality of the performances varies according to the casting, but it's always enjoyable to support this venue and it is a great outlet for traing young players.

Howard Charlton

Great place to see a live play

Clint Rhoden

Love this venue for watching community plays. Just watched a production of Sweeny Todd that would rival any Off Broadway play.

George Gray

Performers were amazing.

Becky Morris

Love the plays but the structure leaves a bit too be desired.

Great local theater. You can tell everyone puts all of there effort into making it great

Cheryl Elam

Loved the Steel Magnolia Play. But the theater needs to be cleaned, the floor was dirty, and need to check a couple of the seats.One in our group had her seat just about fall apart on her during the first 15 mins, she was afraid to move in her seat at all. We moved to diffrent seating during the intermission. But other than that it was great.

Carrie Riley

Gemelia Restum

Paul Johnston

Best community theater in Arkansas.!

Randy Rhea

Love it prices are way to high on everything

Traci V

The Newsies Musical was absolutely awesome!!!

Whitney P's Adventures

The Royal theatre is hole-in-the-wall where magic can freely happen. The walls have painted plaster which is falling down to reveal a layer of beautiful brick. The ceiling looks like it's held up by the hopes and dreams of the actors on the stage, but since nothing fell on anyone while we were there I'll say it's reasonably safe (Baring any earthquakes, rough winds or sneezes). It holds about 250 patrons at a time, so purchase your tickets ahead of time. I do hope to return and see another production in the future.

Turner Lee

Wonderful community theater and historic building.

Mary Tillery

Truly great theater

William Alverio

I love this theatre!! It’s filled with so much history and talent!!
