Arts Live Theatre, Northwest Arkansas’ only dedicated non-profit Children’s and Youth Theatre, will host the first annual Arts Live Theatre Awards, the “ALTYs”, Saturday, June 2nd, 7pm, at the Parish Hall, St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Fayetteville. 
Awards will be given to nominated student actors who have appeared in Arts Live Theatre productions throughout the past season and individual contributions to classes will also be recognized. The final award of the evening will be the Arts Live Theatre Spirit Award given to the student or students who have best exemplified Arts Live the past season.
Mark Landon Smith, Artistic Director, believes it’s important to recognize student actors. “They work so hard and are so dedicated to the program, so we wanted to have an evening where it is all about them,” he said. Nominees were selected from a general ballot from which the official nominees were selected. Award recipients will be voted on by the public.
Tickets to the “ALTYs” are $5 per person and may be purchased by calling Arts Live Theatre at 521-4932, or at the door the evening of the ceremony. There will be a Karaoke Party immediately following the ceremony courtesy of dancenhance entertainment.
