TOGETHER AGAIN! A season to embrace the unexpected joy in everyday life
ATC’s
long-awaited 54th Season immerses audiences in joyful stories about how we learn to heal and love each other, bringing together audiences to experience world-class theatre about what it means to be alive today. This season’s lineup includes two world premieres, notes Sean Daniels, ATC’s Kasser Family Artistic Director. “This is just the beginning of shows starting in Arizona before they play the rest of the world.” He notes that how to make an American Son received funding from the National Endowment for the Arts and will go Off-Broadway after its ATC run. Justice already has theaters lining up to produce it. “These are true examples of ATC becoming the local theatre the world pays attention to, and I’m excited for other states to see what starts in Arizona.”

Experience ATC at the Temple of Music and Art: My 80-Year-Old Boyfriend created by Charissa Bertels, Christian Duhamel and Edward Bell, directed by Sean Daniels (September 25 - October 16). What happens when a 20-something Broadway baby meets a Shakespeare- and Schubert-loving octogenarian? Magic, music and friendship. This delightful, award-winning musical shares how a most unlikely pair discover themselves when their friendship blossoms. Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon, directed by Sean Daniels (November 6 - December 4). Picking up two years after Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice ends, this cleverly imagined story stars Mary Bennet, unmarried, nerdy, and growing tired of her role as the obedient middle sister. But an unexpected guest gives Mary the boost she needs to embrace her independence and finally find true love. Celebrate the holidays with your family, friends, and favorite early 19th century characters.
