Barefoot in the Park
By Neil Simon
Tucson: Thursday, October 5 – 10 AM
Tempe/Phoenix: Thursday, October 26 (SOLD OUT) & Thursday, November 2 – 10 AM
Neil Simon’s most beloved romantic comedy, Barefoot in the Park opens as blissful ambitious young newlyweds struggle to get along in their Manhattan fixer-upper apartment, all while under the gaze of the bride’s neurotic mother and eccentric upstairs neighbor. In a case of opposites attract – Paul is a successful lawyer known for his conservative and practical nature and Corie a sexy adventure seeker – they quickly face newlywed challenges that can try the best of marriages. Considered one of America’s best rom-coms, Barefoot in the Park is among the top 10 longest-running non-musical plays in Broadway history, and it was turned into an Oscar-nominated movie.
Approximately 2 hours 40 minutes including two intermissions and a Talk-Back with the Cast.
Scrooge! A New Holiday Musical
By Leslie Bricusse
Tucson: Thursday, November 16 (SOLD OUT) & Thursday, November 30 (SOLD OUT) – 10 AM
Tempe/Phoenix: Thursday, December 14 (SOLD OUT) – 10AM
Adapted from the Oscar-nominated film Scrooge comes a Christmas musical spectacular by Oscar-winning, Grammy-winning, and Tony-nominated composer Leslie Bricusse. Scrooge: The Musical is a groundbreaking adaptation of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol filled with songs that are as impressive as the ones he wrote for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. The story follows the miserly Ebenezer Scrooge as he goes on a fantastical journey through his life over the course of a single Christmas Eve night. After a warning from the ghost of his business partner Jacob Marley, the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future take Scrooge on a musical adventure that leads him towards his hopeful redemption. In a new version created uniquely for ATC, Scrooge will be the perfect holiday fare for families and audiences of all ages.
Approximately 2 hours 40 minutes including one intermission and a Talk-Back with the Cast.
Master Class
By Terrence McNally
Tucson: Thursday, March 21 – 10 AM
Tempe/Phoenix: Thursday, April 4 – 10 AM
Master Class, the Tony-winning play by Terrence McNally, tells the story of the uncompromising opera diva Maria Callas as she delivers a life altering master class to students at an elite opera training program. During the class, she encounters three vastly different students who are by turns hilariously crushed, soulfully uplifted, and profoundly inspired by her singular artistry. Based on a series of real-life classes Callas delivered at Juilliard, Master Class inspires us, transports us, and transforms us by carving a window into the soul of one of the most complicated and celebrated artists of the 20th century who pushed the boundaries of artistic sacrifice and quality.
Approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes including one intermission and a Talk-Back with the Cast.
