Michael Flatt and Joanie Flatt

He was a board member, donor, loud champion of the arts, and a firm believer that the Valley deserves great culture – accessible and for all ages. Today, Arizona has a growing arts scene because of people like Michael Flatt, and we are eternally grateful for his vision. As you laugh out loud tonight, please know that Michael is thrilled you are here – in fact laugh a little louder for him – and know that the work of growing this community isn’t done, but because of special souls like his, we are on our way. 10

“The laughs in Wendy MacLeod’s play, come fast and furious … It’s all good, silly fun, directed with precise comic timing by the seasoned Sean Daniels … A new work that’s modern, lively, and loads of fun.” – Boston Globe

WOMEN IN JEOPARDY! BY WENDY MACLEOD DIRECTED BY SEAN DANIELS

A RIOTOUS COMEDY! Screw the mid-life crisis; let’s solve some crimes! Middle-aged mom Liz has a new man. And let’s face it … he’s just plain creepy. When a mysterious disappearance sets the community on edge, Liz’s best friends leap to the rescue as the zany caper flings them from the ‘burbs’ to the wilds of Utah; because there’s no danger great enough to stop women from solving crimes if they want to! A riotous comedy about trading in wine glasses for spy glasses when the mid-life crisis just isn’t your speed.
