Despite struggles, money woes, local theater rallies

Despite struggles, money woes, local theater rallies



The last decade hasn’t been kind to Tucson theater.
The recession was marked by lower ticket sales, and the loss of government, corporate and private funds.
Nevertheless, as the 2014-15 season launches — Invisible Theatre’s “A Kid Like Jake,” which opened Wednesday, is the first of a slew of shows over the next few weeks — it’s clear things are getting better. Not great, mind you — theater companies, both community and professional, still struggle to mount shows and sell tickets. But if the number of organizations willing to take on that struggle is any indication, theater is on the way up in the Old Pueblo.
