History:

The history of the present Bull Shoals Theater of the Arts started in 1999 with a building that had sat vacant for almost twelve years and a handful of community benefactors who had a vision to give something back to the community. That group’s mission was to build the community’s character and excellence through the “arts”. Those benefactors then worked to acquire and renovate the property. Subsequently the IRS 501 C 3 corporation “Bull Shoals Theater of the Arts, Inc.” and the Governing Board that the theater presently operates under was formed. Now this group’s mission was just starting. Although they had acquired the property and the building, alas the theater building had sat vacant for almost twelve years, and the building needed some major renovations before it could be opened to the public.
