Interview: Jen Gantwerker's Journey

Theatre unlocks something really magical in kids. Watching it teaches them that they live in a world where anything is possible, and making it helps them find their place in that world. I could also stand on a rooftop and shout for days about the impact arts-based learning within the classroom has on kids - on their confidence, their enthusiasm for learning, and their ability to succeed in school. Like I said, it's magic!

Review: BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA at Invisible Theatre
by Zach Wetzel - September 05, 2024
BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA is by far the most moving play I have seen in Tucson. It stars Dennis O'Dell as John and Hannah Turner as Caitlyn, both making their Invisible Theatre debuts. This was my first introduction to the play, written by Anna Ouyang Moench. I recommend going in cold if you are unfamiliar with this one. The impact of this play is strong and stays with you for a long time. Expertly directed by Gretchen Wirges, one of Tucson's finest directors, BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA is a profound piece.

Review: GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY at ASU Gammage
by Herbert Paine - August 21, 2024
Written and directed by Conor McPherson, GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY doesn't feel like other jukebox musicals. If anything, with its engrossing dialog, delivered with a heightened sense of heartbreaking realism from an excellent touring ensemble, you're never quite sure how best to describe the production. Is it a jukebox musical, a drama that wants to be a musical, or a play with music in it?
