Arizona Theatre Company (ATC) continues its commitment to develop new works with its latest developmental workshop reading of Robert Schenkkan’s Bob & Jean: A Love Story, an ode to his own parents’ romantic saga during World War II.

“This play is a demonstration of love transcending a lifetime. It is poetic, it is nostalgic, and it is Schenkkan’s most personal story- that of his parents’ courtship” says Kasser Family Artistic Director Matt August.

The workshop reading on September 12 and 13, spearheaded by Director Matt August, featured acclaimed actors Casey Likes (Back to the Future: The Musical) and Jeff McCarthy (Urinetown), as well as up-and-coming talent Lillie Langston. The script is set to have its World Premiere at Arizona Theatre Company in Spring 2025.
