A Life in The Theatre
Written by David Mamet. Directed by Molly Lyons.
Through July 10
Thurs., Fri. + Sat. at 7:30PM | Sundays at 3:00PM
The Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Glengarry Glen Ross and Speed-The-Plow takes us into the lives of two actors: John, young and rising into the first flush of his success; and Robert, older, anxious, and beginning to wane. In a series of short, spare, and increasingly raw exchanges, we see the estrangement of youth from age and the wider, inevitable and endless cycle of life, in and out of the theatre.
"I hope the audience will feel like they're in the makeup room with the actors, a fly on the wall backstage, getting a glimpse of how it's done; almost onstage with the actors in the scenes that are plays within the play, and enjoying how they change from style to style," says Director Molly Lyons.
"But, mostly, like any good play, I hope audiences will enjoy watching the development of a complex relationship. Haven't we all admired someone, then learned their flaws? Mentor to mentee, artistic father to young up and coming actor, artist to artist, human to human. Both characters are fully flawed yet fully lovable. It's a beautiful journey of growth, creativity, respect, disappointment, and, ultimately, love."

The five young playwrights come from a variety of Tucson schools, including Empire High School, City High School, The Gregory School, and home school. They were paired with local, seasoned playwrights who have mentored them, helping them cast, direct, and workshop their 10-minute plays. Auditions were held in March for young performers and tech students to partner with the playwrights and bring these award-winning plays to life.

Upcoming Children's Theatre Show
Once Upon THIS Time
Written and directed by Richard Gremel with music by Michael Martinez
July 16 - August 1
Everyone knows the classic princess stories; you know, the ones that always begin with "Once Upon a Time..." Those classic tales of magic, dreams, fantasy, and true love. But do you think those stories still hold up in today's modern world? Is there still true love and bibbity-bobbity-boos in this age of smartphones and Wi-Fi? Would all those princesses still live happily ever after?
Two narrators battle it out in an attempt to answer these questions. It is "Princess meets Present" when the stories of Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Beauty & the Beast, and Cinderella are given a modern twist and told Once Upon THIS Time.
SHOW TIMES: Fridays and Saturdays at 7:00PM | Sundays at 3:00PM
Seating: Children's Theatre
