Discover the Extraordinary World of Arizona Theatre Company – A Great American Regional Theatre
Welcome to Arizona Theatre Company, where we don’t just stage productions … we create cultural experiences that resonate far beyond the curtain. As a vibrant nonprofit since 1966 and the Official State Theatre of Arizona, we are a hub where creativity thrives and art takes center stage.
Setting the gold standard for artistic excellence and innovation, ATC is Arizona’s sole LORT (League of Resident Theatres) professional regional theatre. Guided by the visionary leadership of Executive Director Geri Wright and Kasser Family Artistic Director Matt August, ATC consistently assembles a team of world-class artists dedicated to delivering exceptional theatrical experiences to the communities of Tucson and the Tempe/Phoenix metropolitan area.
Our impact extends far beyond the stage, enhancing our audiences’ overall quality of life. With a steadfast commitment to outreach, education, and community engagement, ATC reaches more than 130,000 patrons annually through mainstage productions, student matinees, and community initiatives – including our National Latine Playwrights Award and Festival. We believe in the transformative power of art, and our education programs ignite young minds, sow seeds of inspiration, and cultivate the artists and audiences of tomorrow.
Join us as we share the magic of theatre, transcending boundaries and connecting with schools, communities, and curious minds. Arizona Theatre Company is not just a place for entertainment; it’s a cultural cornerstone, a catalyst for creativity, and a testament to the enduring power of the arts. Be a part of the experience!
