The 2025 Gridiron is slated for Friday and Saturday evenings, Oct. 24 and 25, at The Medium theatre, originally known and remembered by long-time Gridiron fans as the Arts Center of the Ozarks, where the Gridiron was performed from 1979 to 1989.
The performance of the 2025 Northwest Arkansas Gridiron will continue to make fun of Independent trends, Republican trivia and Democratic tribulations. Just remember, it’s all in jest and raises funding for journalism scholarships in the region.
To get prepped, watch this flashback to 2016, when Michelle Obama, portrayed by student Kristin Smith, sang about surviving eight years in the White House.
