It’s extraordinary that we are here, concluding our 2017/2018 season with the powerful and important The Diary of Anne Frank. Thank you for your tremendous support, your heartfelt encouragement, and your welcoming spirit. We love being in Arizona and remain committed to serving you and serving up the kind of theatre our cities deserve. We are already in the thick of planning next season, hiring artists, moving toward design meetings, and crafting new initiatives as we not only raise funds, but seek to “raise the bar!” I won’t go on too much about all that, other than to say we are here because of you and we will be responsible stewards moving forward. So, thanks.

Without a doubt, ATC is known for its breadth of programming and its excellence in execution. Here, you’ll experience no less: a production chosen and directed by my predecessor, David Ira Goldstein. It is crafted with love, determination, and joy: the same qualities shared by the people and characters who appear in this tragic, hopeful, and powerful journey.

To be truthful, I can’t read or watch or witness much more injustice, hate, and discrimination in the world. I don’t have the capacity to sit through rehearsals of The Diary of Anne Frank without a pocket-ful of Kleenex. I don’t have the fortitude at the moment to even visit our memorials and institutions that pay homage to past tragedies without losing it. Maybe I see my kids in the children on stage and on television and in the pictures at the Jewish Holocaust Museums. Maybe I’m just worn out with tragedy. Maybe I thought I had some answers and could quell the fears of my boys, who are starting to ask deeper questions as I hurry to turn off the news before they digest something Dad can’t explain.

Still, I know I must watch and do watch and grow stronger from learning from the past, even as our country’s kids RISE up to teach us adults once again. Strange to watch The Diary of Anne Frank and then watch the news; there’s Emma González, just like Anne, fortified with love and forced too young to muster a courage born out of evil. I wish I had something more eloquent to say here, but I stumble to find words. Maybe that’s the point? Maybe I’ll take my cue from those kids and offer this:

Just a bit of respect. A long silence to remember.

And somewhere in that silence, I’ll still whisper a “thanks.” A thank you and an offer of love to survivors and victims of the Holocaust as once again we turn to the stage to remind us of the stories of our time.

Much love,

David Ivers Artistic Director [email protected]

L E T T E R F R O M M A N A G I N G D I R E C T O R B I L LY R U S S O

Here we are at the final production of our 2017/ 2018 season. It’s hard to imagine that it was nine months ago that David Ivers and I began our tenure as the leadership of Arizona Theatre Company. It feels like yesterday, and at the same time I’m amazed about how much has transpired since then.

I am humbled by the warm welcome my other half, Richard, and I received from the Arizona Theatre Company’s family of subscribers, audience, donors, board, and staff. In fact we felt embraced by the community of Tucson as a whole. We have some of the best neighbors, and I almost feel like Norm from Cheers when entering Downtown Kitchen and Cocktails.

When I look back at the season, I am very proud of the accomplishments the organization has achieved:

• Our Summer On Stage program last summer brought a thrilling Macbeth and a hilarious The Addams Family to the Temple, with a cast and crew made up of Tucson teens.

• Chapter Two brought Marsha Mason here to direct the play for which she was the inspiration.

• The River Bride allowed us to introduce Marisela Treviño Orta (a winner of ATC’s National Latino Playwrighting Award) and her magical play to Arizona audiences, in a brand new production.

• Man of La Mancha was an experiment in meld-ing the world of flamenco with the classic Amer-ican musical. I know I am biased, but I think it was a resoundingly successful experiment.

• Outside Mullingar (our own Artistic Direc-tor’s directorial debut in Arizona) captured the hearts and imagination of our audiences, taking its place in the top five best-selling dramatic plays in ATC history.

• Low Down Dirty Blues had a group of the best, most authentic blues singers and musicians I’ve ever seen on a theatrical stage.

• The Diary of Anne Frank, directed by the much-loved David Ira Goldstein, arrives on our stage now, at time where it has another layer of reso-nance in light of recent events.

We continued to have significant increases in ticket sales, had a fantastic fall Gala, where the “Fund the Future” auction appeal raised nearly four times as much as last season, and we’ve continued to be amazed by the continued and increased support from a large swath of our donor base. We’ve welcomed ten new employees to our company in our effort to properly staff the organization and build its capacity.

We continue on the road of financial recovery that began last season and remain firm in our belief that a commitment to work of virtuosic quality will be the cornerstone of the efforts to put Arizona Theatre Company on a firm financial footing and to continue its work in being the sole professional producing theatre company of Arizona.

It’s no secret we need the support of the citizens, government, foundations, and corporations of this fine state to carry that mission out, and in partnership with them, it is a responsibly we gladly take on.

Thank you for allowing us to be on this journey with you.

Billy Russo, Managing Director [email protected]

Under new leadership – and now celebrating its 51st-season – Arizona Theatre Company boasts the largest subscriber base of any performing arts organization in Arizona, with more than 130,000 people each year attending performances at the historic Temple of Music and Art in Tucson, and the elegant Herberger Theater Center in downtown Phoenix.

Each season of carefully selected productions reflects the rich variety of world drama – from classic to contemporary plays, from musicals to new works – as audiences enjoy a rich emotional experience that can only be captured through live theatre.

ATC is the preeminent professional theatre in the state of Arizona. Under the direction of Artistic Director David Ivers in partnership with Managing Director Billy Russo, ATC operates in two cities – unlike any other League of Resident Theaters (LORT) company in the country.

ATC shares the passion of the theatre through a wide array of outreach programs, educational opportunities, access initiatives, and community events. Through the schools and summer programs, ATC focuses on teaching Arizona’s youth about literacy, cultural development, performing arts, specialty techniques used onstage, and opens their minds to the creative power of dramatic literature. With approximately 450 Learning & Education activities annu-ally, ATC reaches far beyond the metropolitan areas of Tucson and Phoenix, enriching the theatre learning experience for current and future audiences.

T H E AT R E I N F O R M AT I O N

THE TEMPLE OF MUSIC AND ARTThe Temple of Music and Art is a beautifully refurbished 1927 theatre, built in the Spanish Colonial style that flavors so much of our city. ATC has identified the following services and policies to ensure your comfort and enhance your experience at the theatre.

THEATRE POLICIESLatecomers will be seated only at an appropriate and predetermined break in action. In order not to disturb patrons who are already enjoying the performance, latecomers may be seated in alternate locations until intermission. As a courtesy to our patrons and the actors, the use of cameras and recording devices is not permitted within the theatre. Please restrict cellular phone use to the courtyard only. Children under five are not permitted in the theatre during performances.

Emergency calls may also be made to the House Manager’s direct line: 520-884-4868.
