BOSTON MARRIAGE
by David Mamet
Set at the turn of the century, Anna and Claire are two ladies in love.
For these scheming socialites, maintaining their class status is full-time work, and hilarity cleverly ensues as their plans unfold. Anna has become the mistress of a wealthy man and has already received an emerald. Meanwhile, Claire is infatuated with a respectable young woman and she
enlists Anna's help to arrange a secret meeting with her. When this plan goes awry, Anna and Claire's status and wealth are suddenly in jeopardy. Writers and theatre goers have long admired David Mamet's hilarious, expertly-written dialogue in this acclaimed jab at the patriarchy.
January 12 - February 18, 2023
STONES IN HIS POCKETS
by Marie Jones
Hollywood comes to rural Ireland in this hilarious multi-award winner which ran for four years in London's West End. This offbeat, endearing tale in which two local Irishmen work as extras on a Hollywood film brilliantly mixes comedy with the poignancy of unexpected loss. Every artist with unrealized childhood dreams will invest in the successes and shortcomings of Charlie and Jake in this acclaimed production of Stones In His Pockets.
February 23 - March 25, 2023
ON THE VERGE, OR THE
GEOGRAPHY OF YEARNING
by Eric Overmyer
Set in 1888, three female explorers at the top of their game team up to
conquer Terra Incognita, the most desired and mysterious of unexplored
territories. On this fantastical journey they encounter cannibals, trolls, artifacts, and more as each of their destinies are revealed to them.
A study of ambition and the human condition, On The Verge, Or The
Geography of Yearning has captivated fantasy and science fiction lovers for over thirty years and its acclaim has only grown.

THE OTHER PLACE
by Sharr White
Juliana is a successful medical scientist whose life is unraveling. She is dealing with a divorce and disapproves that her daughter has eloped with an older man. While Juliana grasps to regain control, a mystery unfolds and facts begin to blend with fiction. As her distress reveals that things may not be what they seem, her focus on The Other Place (a cottage on Cape Cod) turns to obsession as Juliana believes this is where she might reunite with her missing daughter. Are phone calls
from her daughter a delusion? Is her obsession warranted? Juliana's
assuredness is put to the test as The Other Place's twists and turns
are sure to leave audiences on the edge of their seats.

May 11- June 10, 2023
LUNGS
by Duncan Macmillan
In this brutally honest, intimate production, a young couple debates
bringing a child into the world. Zooming in on the results of overpopulation and climate change, W and M's decision reaches
well beyond their relationship, and laughter is the antidote to
the stress around their big-picture questions. In Lungs, Duncan
Macmillan successfully puts his finger on the pulse of the cultural and
personal questions that are informing the life decisions of our young
community members, and he does so through empathetic, jarring,
and hilarious exchanges.
Note: This show contains explicit language.
June 15 - July 8, 2023
WALTER CRONKITE IS DEAD
by Joe Calarco
In this endearing plea for common ground, Walter Cronkite Is Dead is
set in an airport amidst a flurry of delayed flights. Patty, a boisterous
Southerner, strikes up a conversation with Margaret, a liberal from
Washington. Over a bottle of wine, they argue about their personal
passions and emboldened opinions about what it means to live
in present-day America. When they begin to confide in each other
about details of their personal lives, their anger turns to empathy and
a friendship forms. This funny, frank, and unpredictable production
emphasizes all that could be possible if people from opposite sides of
the political aisle took the time to really listen to one another.
August 3 - September 2, 2023
VENUS IN FUR
by David Ives
Thomas, a director in a bind, is desperate to find an actress to play the female lead in his adaptation of the classic sadomasochistic tale Venus in Fur. Enter Vanda, a vulgar and equally desperate actress. Though, on the surface, she is utterly wrong for the part, she authoritatively and seductively masters the part. As they work through the script, a game
of domination and submission plays out with only enough room for one
of them to win. This mysterious, charmingly erotic and acclaimed work is a high point in David Ives' diverse body of work.
Note: This show contains explicit language and adult themes.
September 7 - October 7, 2023
HIR
by Taylor Mac
When a son returns home from Afghanistan ready to challenge his
abusive father, he finds an unexpected scenario: Isaac's father has suffered a debilitating stroke and his mother has gleefully taken
control of the household with unwavering support from little sister
Max, newly out as transgender. Isaac revels in the old, "be careful
what you wish for" mantra, as he struggles to find his place in this
new family dynamic. Celebrated as a dysfunctional family dramedy
for a new era, Taylor Mac's HIR turns patriarchy on its head with
intriguingly fresh results.
Note: This show contains explicit language and adult themes.
Children's Theatre Season

ROCKIN' AROUND THE
CHRISTMAS TREE: A CHRISTMAS SING-A-LONG
by Richard Gremel
The Cheer Squad is preparing for the Christmas Extravaganza to raise Christmas Cheer, but after
most of them get sick from drinking bad eggnog, it's up to a band of misfit reindeer and elves to save
the day. But the Broadway producer reviewing the Christmas Extravaganza is secretly the head of the coal industry, and would like nothing more than to have every child get coal in their stockings. Come join in the fun, sing along to your favorite Christmas tunes, and enjoy a visit from the big guy himself.

NO OTHER NEMESIS
by Catherine Oda
Space Lady (Karate Expert, Alien, Hero) and Doctor V (Totally Real Doctor, Air Guitar Enthusiast,
Villain) are sworn enemies, and yet, they find themselves the only constant in each other's lives. It seems as if they live in a simple episodic monster-of-the-week series. That is, however, until the Masquerader, a new ruthless villain, tries to destroy the city that Space Lady and Doctor V have been fighting over! The sacred bond between hero and villain will be stressed as things start to get real. What will happen?

official tooth fairies. When Calvin McCavity threatens to end the Fairy Flight Force once and for
all, it is up to Bridget and Marty to save the day before it's "tooth" late.

YOUNG PLAYWRIGHTS OF TUCSON
LTW's 4th annual Young Playwrights of Tucson Competition encourages students from all over our
community to write and submit their short stories for a chance to be workshopped in the summer. Each
top young playwright is teamed up with one of LTW's seasoned playwrights/directors to help get their plays from the scripts to the stage. Local talented students audition, perform, and run the tech for all of the shows. This is a great way to see Tucson youth blow you away with how much talent they have. With the help of LTW's Children's Theatre leaders, these students take the stage and give a voice to the stories they want everyone to hear.
