The Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center, opened in 2008, is the main cultural venue in the city and a genuinely capable space for a suburb of 115,000. The Kristin Chenoweth Theatre (named for the Broken Arrow native and Tony Award winner) hosts local productions, touring shows, and the Broken Arrow Symphony as well as high school performances from the nationally recognized Broken Arrow arts program.
The building is on Main Street in the Rose District, making it easy to combine with a meal or a drink before or after a show. Programming tends toward crowd-pleasing — musicals, comedy, classical concerts — with occasional ambitious productions mixed in. Check the schedule for current listings.
