Ahead on Ozarks: trying to weigh all of the factors that could have an effect on Arkansas’ economy for the rest of 2013 and into 2014, including home sales, employment numbers, civic infrastructure, the Farm Bill and more.

Plus we continue our series on what the Affordable Care Act may mean for Arkansas with a report about how an insurance company is preparing for change. And our monthly wrap up of visual arts in the region.
We take a look at how theater in the region has changed as well as what plans some theater companies have for the future.
