In Arizona Broadway Theatre’s production of CINDERELLA, audiences of all ages will find the magic they came for…and in that space, a story once deemed simple becomes something richer.

Theatre Artists Studio's perennial showcase of original 10-minute plays presents an impressive range of voices and tones, from sharply comic to deeply affecting.

Fairy tales have always promised us that once the dragon is slain and the prince is kissed, the story ends in blissful finality.
Review: MAMMA MIA at Broadway In Tucson
MAMMA MIA at Broadway in Tucson is an energetic crowdpleaser! I spent my childhood listening to the music of ABBA and watching various iterations of MAMMA MIA.
Review: THE MEMORY OF WATER at Theatre Artists Studio
Despite earnest efforts and glimpses of talent, this production of Shelagh Stephenson's THE MEMORY OF WATER failed to honor the quiet depth of the playwright's work.
Review: LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS at Stray Cat Theatre
Despite some flaws, this LITTLE SHOP, directed by Ron May, is a wild, weird, dark ride.
Review: Finding Grace In Things We Throw Away
Beneath the jokes and sharp-edged dialogue is a rumination on labor, grief, and human connection in unlikely places.
Review: THE MINUTES Exposes the Complicity of Silence
At the heart of THE MINUTES lies the bitter debate over the town's origin—a controversy surrounding a long-commemorated event that reveals uncomfortable contradictions under closer scrutiny.
Review: FORBIDDEN BROADWAY: THE NEXT GENERATION at The Phoenix Theatre Company
FORBIDDEN BROADWAY: THE NEXT GENERATION isn’t just a parody—it’s a full-on roast of the Great White Way, served up hot and fast with a piano and four performers who can belt, mug, and mimic with razor precision.
Review: BOB & JEAN: A LOVE STORY at Arizona Theatre Company
Arizona Theatre Company has staged a heartfelt and finely wrought production—a love story that resists sentimentality and embraces sincerity.
Review: BEACH BLANKET BEE BOP at The Gaslight Theatre
BEACH BLANKET BEE BOP is now playing at The Gaslight Theatre! Written by Peter VanSlyke and adapted/directed by Katherine Byrnes and Mike Yarema, this is a side-splitting and toe-tapping musical parody.
Review: CRIMES OF THE HEART at Order Chaos Theater Company
Order Chaos Theatre Company’s production of Beth Henley's CRIMES OF THE HEART is earnest in its attempt to capture the play’s bruised heart and tangled humor.
Review: BOB & JEAN: A LOVE STORY at Arizona Theatre Company
Bob & Jean: A Love Story at Arizona Theatre Company is beautiful.
Review: IT IS MAGIC at The Scoundrel And Scamp Theatre
IT IS MAGIC is hilarious, challenging, and intense!
Review: ART at Theatre Artists Studio
ART is a must-see—not just because it’s brilliant, but because it might just make you rethink every argument you’ve ever had about taste.
Review: LADY DAY AT EMERSON’S BAR & GRILL at The Black Theatre Troupe
See The Black Theatre Troupe's staging of LADY DAY, not just for the music, not just for the history, but to witness a piece of theater that doesn’t just tell a story—it makes you feel every note of it.
Review: THE RAINMAKER at Don Bluth Front Row Theatre
Don Bluth Front Row Theatre's production of THE RAINMAKER is a heartfelt and intimate production that highlights the story’s enduring themes of self-worth and hope.
Review: PHANTOM at Arizona Broadway Theatre
By now, the phrase Phantom of the Opera conjures one thing: Andrew Lloyd Webber’s juggernaut, a chandelier-crashing, organ-blasting spectacle that has been haunting Broadway since the Reagan administration.
