Today, April 24th, the Springfield Theatre Alliance – a collaboratin of 13 local production companies and theatres – met at the Skinny Improv downtown, above Nonna’s Cafe, to discuss the coming 2012-2013 season starting in June.

Springfield has a vibrant and abundant theatre culture with many productions to choose from, ranging from musicals to operas, and improv comedy acts to dark dramas.

Next season is busy, offering theatre fans and newbies alike a multitude of options to choose from. In June alone Springfieldians can attend a production almost every day of the month.

If you’re an Ozarks resident looking for an evening’s fun, check these productions’ schedules and come support your local arts.
