Evocative

LIFESPAN OF A FACT

by Jeremy Kareken, David Murrell and Gordon Farrell

SEPTEMBER 7 - 18, 2022

A critically acclaimed 2018 Broadway play, this fast-paced story explodes with blistering comedy and timely relevance. Facts become blurry when they're twisted into fiction in the high-stakes world of publishing. The demanding editor-in-chief of a high-end magazine, hires a determined millennial fact-checker to work on a groundbreaking essay. The deadline is tight, the essay is dense, and everyone must make a good faith effort in telling the story honestly. This is the ultimate showdown of fact versus fiction. 

 

 

Unsinkable

RED HOT PATRIOT:

The Kick-Ass Wit of Molly Ivins

by Margaret Engel and Allison Engel NOVEMBER 2 - 13, 2022

The story of the unsinkable Molly Ivins, the famously brassy newspaper columnist and best-selling author. A true Texas original, Ivins was a sharp-tongued wit who skewered the political establishment and the "good ol' boys" with her unforgettable humor and wisdom. Written by twin sisters, themselves longtime journalists, the play celebrates Ivins' courage and tenacity - even when a complacent America wasn't listening. 

 

 

Inspirational

WIESENTHAL

Written and Performed

by Tom Dugan

Berger Performing Arts Center JANUARY 14 - 15, 2023

This award winning Off-Broadway play WIESENTHAL is the riveting story of an ordinary man that did extraordinary things. Simon Wiesenthal was a Jewish Austrian Holocaust survivor who became a Nazi hunter after the war so they could be brought to trial. Sometimes referred to as 'the Jewish James Bond,' Simon Wiesenthal escaped death at the hands of Hitler's S.S., lost 89 family members, and devoted more than six decades to bringing Nazi war criminals to justice. Part memoir and part spy thriller, WIESENTHAL is a heartfelt, deeply moving and compelling play that resonates with hope, humanity and humor. 

 

 

Heartwarming

THE SABBATH GIRL by Cary Gitter

February 15 - 26, 2023

Angie Mastrantoni has a lot going for her: A job at a hip art gallery. A new apartment on the Upper West Side. But not much time for relationships. But then her neighbor Seth, a divorced Orthodox Jew with a knish store on the Lower East Side, knocks on her door. He needs some help from a non-Jew with little tasks forbidden on the Sabbath. Could it be love? THE SABBATH GIRL is a contemporary romantic comedy with an old-fashioned heart—about the loneliness of big-city life, the surprise of encountering another culture, and the possibility of finding love next door. 

 

 

Unforgettable

BILLIE! Backstage With Lady Day

by Synthia L. Hardy

Berger Performing Arts Center

March 18 - 19, 2023

This NAACP award winning musical starring the incomparable Synthia L. Hardy takes you back to an era where the joints were jumping and Hollywood was hopping. BILLIE! is a musically haunting, unpredictable journey into the winding road of love, joy, blues, racism, and astounding hit songs that tell the story of the amazing Billie Holiday. Actor-singer-playwright Synthia L. Hardy brings the story of Billie Holiday to vibrant life in this unforgettable musical featuring some of the 20th Century greatest hits, including "God Bless the Child", "Strange Fruit", "Good Morning Heartache", and "Lover Man". 

 

 

Enlightening

SMALL MOUTH SOUNDS by Bess Wohl

April 19 - 30, 2023

In the overwhelming quiet of the woods, six runaways from city life embark on a silent retreat. As these strangers confront internal demons both profound and absurd, their vows of silence collide with the achingly human need to connect. Filled with insightful humor, SMALL MOUTH SOUNDS is the unique and compassionate new play that asks how we address life's biggest questions when words fail us.

Live Theatre Workshop: The Nina Variations opens this Saturday, June 11th

THE NINA VARIATIONS

 

The Nina Variations at Live Theatre Workshop

 

 

In this video, director Chris Moseley discusses The Nina Variations

 

 

THE NINA VARIATIONS

June 9th to July 9th on the Mainstage

 

"Nina Variations is a brilliant, consistent, heart-rending series of riffs on Chekhov's characters, one which preserves Chekhov's sensibilities and reminds us gently and insistently that life is here, life is now, life is immediate, and all our choices are full of meaning." -CTX Live Theatre

 

In this tribute to Chekhov's The Seagull, Steven Dietz focuses on the final scene between two star-crossed lovers, presenting 43 new variations of their epilogue. In the original text, Treplev, a young writer, is hopelessly in love with Nina, an actress, who is in love with Treplev's mother's lover. In Dietz's variations, Nina and Treplev live out a range of conclusions from tragic and unresolved to living happily ever after. The Nina Variations is a fascinating exploration of the naivety, idealism, and universal passion of young love.

 

The Nina Variations is directed by Chris Moseley and stars Emily Gates as Nina and Jake Montgomery as Treplev.

 

The show runs June 9th to July 9, 2022. Thursdays, Fridays, & Saturdays at 7:30pm, Sundays at 3:00pm, with a special Saturday matinee on July 9th at 3:00pm. There's no evening show on July 8th. 

 

$23 General, $21 for Military, Seniors & Students, $15 for Thursdays and Previews

 

Please review our COVID-19 safety protocols before attending a performance.

Scholarships are available for the camp for any actors who would like to join, just email troubadourtheatre@yahoo.com to request.

The Soapbox with Jordan Wiley-Hill
(Re)Telling Tucson's Story
Friday Night at 7:30pm


Jordan Wiley-Hill is a longtime professional storyteller, weaving tales for groups ranging from NASA and national museums to schools and cultural organizations. Oh, and his kids too—they hear a LOT of stories. A side effect of all of this is that his mind is especially primed for narrative.  For better or for worse, when experiences arise in his life, they get filtered through all sorts of story layers and come out on the other end in funny little packages that go "pop" when you open them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Want to try improv? You can!!! We do an open jam for anyone that wants to get on stage and do some improv. Friday nights at 6:30pm!  Jam is free, stay for the Soapbox for just $5.

 

 

SHATFAN is back on the stage, along with some of our indie teams, in a special harold night Thursday at 7:30pm!

 

 

Try out your jokes on the TIM stage Thursday night.  Sign up at 8pm, show starts at 8:30!
