The Amarillo Little Theatre is excited to “rock hardcore” as we present School of Rock as the final show of our 98th season. Based on the hilarious 2003 film starring Jack Black, this smash hit musical follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn a few extra bucks by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of straight-A students into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band – sensationally performed live by ALT’s young actors every night with roof-raising energy! With music by Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber (Phantom of the Opera, Jesus Christ Superstar) and winner of the Laurence Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music, this talent-packed musical will rock the roof off the Mainstage!
Join us for this high-energy musical adventure celebrating music, individuality and staying true to yourself, ROCKING the Allen Shankles Mainstage April 30 - May 17! Tickets can be reserved by emailing lissa@amarillolittletheatre.org or online at amarillolittletheatre.org. Mark your calendars and reserve your tickets today so you don’t miss the electrifying score, infectious energy and roof-raising talent in ALT’s School of Rock.
Join us for our ASL-Interpreted performance on Sunday, May 10th for the deaf and hard of hearing community.
Arkansas-native Richard Michael Hall makes his debut at The 806 on Friday, March 15th, fresh off the release of his newest album, "Church Songs." RMH, as fans lovingly call him, opens up to us in a colloquially poetic way about his experiences in faith, its institutions, and the inner battle that has culminated in a conflict between the two. The assortment of tongue-and-cheek humor and deep divulgences are delivered with broad influence, from the boldness of irreverent folk singers to the attitude of the punk-house.
His wide vocal range, steadfast rhythm, and impressive guitar-playing is consistently juxtaposed with his laid back, "what you see is what you get" attitude, a theme notably present in his casual ruminations on the meaning and the mundanity of it all.

Invisible Genie is pleased to announce Many Infamous Artists, an outdoor group exhibition opening May 16 from 3 PM until dusk.
Set 23 miles outside of Amarillo, this one-day event invites visitors to experience contemporary art in an unexpected rural setting. The exhibition takes place at Invisible Genie’s “art yard,” located at the southwest corner of FM 1258 and FM 1151, the former site of Pullman Grocery, once a small convenience store known for selling gas, Moonpies, and Keystone Light
Featuring work by 13 artists, Many Infamous Artists explores the visual experience of art in a rural setting, situated at a country crossroads near Power Wheel Ranch, a roadside installation of partially buried Power Wheels. This open-air exhibition transforms the site into a space where art meets landscape, emphasizing accessibility, experimentation, and the relationship between artwork and environment.
Participating artists include Brent Birnbaum, Katie Branham, Ashley Epps, David Golbert, Kegan Hollis, Lienad Kralc, Traci Mahannah, Jeremy Marshall, Gabby Mireles, Martin W. Mulherin, Rick Rueda, Rob Weingart and Matthew Williams.
Visitors are encouraged to wear sturdy shoes, as terrain may be uneven, and to park safely off the road. BYOB
