Arizona Theatre Company has added two additional performances to the world premiere production of Emmy Award-winning writer Rick Cleveland's Five Presidents.

New performances are scheduled at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 27 and at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 1 at the Temple of Music and Art, 330 S. Scott Ave. Ticket prices are $37 to $67 and can e purchased online at www.arizonatheatre.org or at the Arizona Theatre Company Box Office (520-622-2823).

Five Presidents is a co-production with Milwaukee Repertory Theater. ATC season sponsors are I. Michael and Beth Kasser.

In Five Presidents, Cleveland, who wrote House of Cards, The West Wing, Mad Men and Six Feet Under, takes us inside a conference room in Yorba Linda, Calif. where former Presidents Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush, Ronald Reagan and then-President Bill Clinton vent frustrations, revisit old grievances and offer a humanizing and unforgettable look at five great men trying to find relevance after being the most powerful people in the world.

The role of Gerald Ford will be performed by Jeff Steitzer for the remainder of the run in Tucson as well as in productions in Phoenix and Milwaukee. Steitzer, who returns to ATC where he last appeared as Danny and Zeus in Xanadu and first appeared as Frank, the loveable psychiatrist in Private Eyes, replaces John Bolger, who had to leave the show for family reasons.

ATC follows Five Presidents with Romeo and Juliet, Feb. 28-March 21; and A Weekend with Pablo Picasso, April 4-26.
