The Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre Announces Ninth Season

The Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre has unveiled its Ninth Season for 2025-2026, marking a new chapter of inventive theatre under the leadership of new Co-Artistic and Managing Directors, Annika Maher and Zac Austin. The season features a vibrant lineup of immersive performances, unique collaborations, and imaginative storytelling for all ages at the theatre in the History Y building in Tucson’s Fourth Avenue District.

This year's programming highlights include the Arizona premiere of a play about the power of language, a circus-inspired culinary-theatre experience, and a darkly humorous show evoking a Charles Addams-style cartoon come to life.

Ninth Season (2025-2026) highlights:

WHERE WORDS ONCE WERE 

Arizona Premiere, September 25–October 12, 2025

From playwright and modern fairytale maker Finegan Kruckemeyer: in a dystopian world where language is rationed to only 1,000 approved words, a young hero, Orhan, discovers that a single word can change the world.

SÉANCE! 

World Premiere, October 17-25, 2025

Just in time for Halloween comes a Victorian-era seance summoned from the quirky and magical minds of Wolfe Bowart and Zac Austin. A theatrical production that encourages us to question what we see and hear as we gather around the table to communicate with those who have passed before us. Aunt Edith, we still need your chicken salad recipe! In this kooky Charles Addams cartoon come to life, watch out for things going bump in the night! 

THEATRE DE CUISINE 

World Premiere, March 26–April 4, 2026

Join us for an evening of fine dining and a circus-inspired theatrical experience. Elegantly presented dishes by Chef Patricia Espinosa are paired with humorous and poetic short theatrical numbers. From physical theatre creator Wolfe Bowart, a culinary experience like no other!
