Review: ROOTED Grows Beyond Its Premise at Live Theatre Workshop


by Robert Encila-Celdran - June 17, 2026

The crowd itself remains unseen, but a growing cult hangs over nearly every scene, transforming Emery’s private sanctuary into something far more complicated. Michael Zimmerman's sound design gives the invisible crowd a character of its own, a foreboding entity lurking just behind the treeline. Th...

Review: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST at Broadway In Tucson


by Zach Wetzel - June 17, 2026

Review: CATS at Arizona Broadway Theatre


by Herbert Paine - June 15, 2026

Review: PLAGUE PLAY at Valley Players


by Cheyenne Lewis - June 02, 2026

Review: DRACULA: A COMEDY OF TERRORS at Arizona Theatre Company


by Herbert Paine - May 25, 2026

Unabashedly campy, nonstop shtick, pulled off by a sharp ensemble that knows exactly what it's doing with every bit. Funny, fast, and fiendishly well-performed. The Count would approve....
