UA’s ENCORE! written and directed by Rob Gretta with music direction by Monte Ralstin
& The FRESHMAN DEBUT directed by Betsy Kruse Craig
TUCSON, ARIZONA – For one night only, Encore! will be paired with our freshman acting students’ performance piece, the Freshman Debut. Each fall, a new edition of Debut is developed specifically to showcase the training and talents of the incoming freshman class of majors in our BFA Acting program, and Encore! presents a lively revue from the best of Broadway and musical theatre performed by our freshman Musical Theatre majors.
This year’s Freshman Debut presents, So You Think You Can Act? and showcases the talent of the BFA freshman actors through scenes and monologues while exploring the fears and insecurities of making the decision to become a professional actor.
To celebrate Arizona's 100th year of statehood,
Encore! will take audiences on a poignant journey through Arizona history featuring songs from the wild west, the war years, and of course, love & romance...all performed against a nostalgic radio hour backdrop, interwoven with vintage commercials & facts about Arizona & its people. Set in a world where a fictitious radio station faces the looming danger of permanent closure, the hour unfolds with music & song, comedy & drama, inviting audience members to commemorate Arizona's rich history.
