The kids are back in school and it's easier now to maintain a routine than during hectic summertime. So here’s a bold suggestion: make date night a regular part of your fall routine — whether it’s grabbing a quick dinner together, seeing a show or cheering on your favorite sports team. Here are three ideas to get you started this month.

1. Bobby Bones Red Hoodie Comedy Tour
Sept. 7 at 8 p.m.

Bobby Bones

The host of iHeartMedia’s “The Bobby Bones Show,” reaching millions of listeners on nearly 100 stations, Bones’ stand-up show combines his love for country music and comedy in his distinct humorous patter, while regaling stories from growing up in rural Arkansas, to hosting the biggest show in country radio.

The show takes place in the Robinson Performance Hall and tickets start at $33.50. Visit Robinson's events page for more information.

2. Acansa Arts Festival
Sept. 18-23

Acansa Arts Festival offers a wide range of live entertainment, including dance performances by the group MOMIX, a group based out of Connecticut.

Now in its fifth year, Acansa is bringing together another group of acclaimed performers and artists from central Arkansas and the surrounding region. Festival events include concerts, recitals, a one-woman play and a contemporary dance performance by MOMIX, just to name a few.

Acansa features performances at 14 venues including the Mosaic Templars Cultural Center, Arkansas Arts Center, Argenta Community Theater and more.
