Anote like this from a teacher is all the validation that we need to know that our organization opens doors to imagination and creativity, something all children need in today’s world.  Act One’s mission to provide meaningful arts experiences that enhance the academic and creative potential of children and families in Arizona, is more important than ever.

Through our field trip programs, Act One made the world a better place by providing free and low-cost field trips to thousands of children across the state.

We relaunched our traditional field trip program and provided live arts experiences and transportation to over 9,500 Title I students in Phoenix and Tucson.

We created our first Virtual Reality field trip and traveled 9,241 miles around the state in our VR vans delivering a unique arts experience to 5,583 Title I students.

We do all of this because we believe that education in the arts enriches all lives. The arts teach us to be more compassionate, collaborative and

creative in our thinking.  We believe that providing access to arts education at an early age, through something as simple as a field trip, can have a lasting impact on children.

This coming year we will increase the number of arts field trips to meet the growing need from our Title I schools.  We will create new content for our VR program that will expand the minds of students and bring arts educational experiences directly to the classroom. These are exciting times at Act One!

If you would like to be a part of our growing organization and help support our mission, I encourage you to visit our website at act1az.org to learn more. Join us!

Tucson’s richly creative, multi-cultural heritage will be on full display in the 2022-23 arts season, with theaters, concert halls and community venues hosting live performances, exhibitions and festivals.

“It’s an amazing season ahead,” said Anne L’Ecuyer, executive director, Arizona Commission on the Arts, a state agency. “A lot of new experiences are in store for us.”

MUSIC

Classical, rock, jazz, pop and opera are among the musical genres represented in live performances for Southern Arizona audiences.

“Live music is so very important,” said Eric Holtan, founding music director for Tucson’s Grammy-nominated musical ensemble True Concord Voices and Orchestra. “It’s what connects us, a human experience that we all need to return to, to get away from our echo chambers, our screens.” True Concord’s seasonal theme is Out of This World, celebrating everything astronomical to spiritual.

Tucson Symphony Orchestra will offer classic favorites performed with the returning TSO Chorus, such as Beethoven’s Ninth and Mahler’s Resurrection. Works spanning other cultures and time periods include Latin Fire, featuring Latin favorites, and Revolution: The

EXPERIENCE UNEXPECTED

Two years ago, Arizona Arts Live started with a simple thought – we grow stronger by sharing in extraordinary and unexpected art experiences. Since then, Arizona Arts Live has taken the arts to the community. To you. You found experiences on the campus of the University of Arizona, at your favorite Tucson theaters, at the local dog park, and even at one of the world’s largest tech and culture conferences. And it’s just getting started.

Arizona Arts Live is more than just a venue, dance, music, or installation art. Arizona Arts Live builds communities. Their season invites you to think. To feel. To explore the extraordinary with regional artists AND welcome the best performers from around the world.

Arizona Arts Live is committed to enriching all of Southern Arizona through the transformative power of the arts. To create thoughtful and empathetic people using the reach and influence of Arizona Arts at the University of Arizona. To bring you new performances that you didn’t know you needed to see.

Will you find household names? Yes. You’ll also find a lineup of world-class artists in new, and at times, unconventional spaces. This involves taking a chance. But it’s these encounters that make us better, whole people. And we know Southern Arizona is up for the challenge. Arizona Arts Live. Experience Unexpected.

LOS ANGELES MASTER CHORALE

ARIZONA OPERA’S 2022/23 SEASON INCLUDES A MOVING STORY OF MILITARY SERVICE AND SACRIFICE, beloved classics, and a familyfriendly musical theater favorite

Arizona Opera’s 2022/23 Season features five exciting performances from timeless classics to inspiring new works.

Kicking off the McDougall RED Series is the regional premiere of a new opera co-commissioned by Arizona Opera, The Falling and the Rising. A story of service and sacrifice, the opera traces the inner journey of a soldier who enters a coma after suffering from a roadside attack. Through her dreamscape, the audience serves as both companion and witness, sharing powerful encounters with fellow service members.

The McDougall RED Series also features Strauss’ masterpiece, Ariadne auf Naxos, a satirical farce that combines sublime music with hilarious antics. A wealthy gentleman in Vienna commissions two pieces of entertain-

ment as an after dinner treat for his guests, to be performed by two separate groups of artists: a dramatic opera and a lighted hearted theatrical comedy. Unfortunately, the dinner is running late, and the two ensembles are forced to perform on stage together, at the same time.

Arizona Opera’s Main Stage series opens with Puccini’s dramatic Tosca. A political drama, set in Rome in June 1800, Tosca tells a story of passionate, yet tender love, jealousy, betrayal, lust, and self-sacrifice. Tosca’s action takes place over a span of less than 24 hours during the Napoleonic wars and amidst great political unrest, making it one of the most dramatic thrill rides in opera.

Fall in love all over again with The Sound of Music, presented in the Marlu Allan and Scott Stallard Modern Masterworks Series! This

treasured musical is based on the 1949 memoir of Maria von Trapp, The Story of the Trapp Family Singers, and tells the story of Maria, who takes a job as governess to a large family. Many songs from the musical have become family classics, including “Edelweiss,” “My Favorite Things,” “Climb Ev’ry Mountain,” “Do-ReMi,” and the title song, “The Sound of Music.”

Concluding Arizona Opera’s Main Stage Series is Mozart’s beloved classic, The Magic Flute, a fairytale of darkness and light, which explores the journey in search of truth and reason, love, and enlightenment. As the action unfolds, Tamino, a prince lost in a foreign land, is tasked with saving the daughter of the Queen of the Night, Pamina. With the gift of a magic flute and magic bells, as well as the light-hearted assistance of the bird-catcher, Papageno, Tamino sets off on his dangerous quest.

Beyond the stage, Arizona Opera will continue its Production Apprentice and Marion Roose Pullin Studio training programs, welcome the return of in-person music education programs, and offer established and newly developed community programs as part of the company’s NextGen Initiative, which positively touch the lives of tens of thousands of people each year.

The 2022/23 Season will also see the return of Connection Lab, which features unique virtual engagement opportunities initially created during the onset of the pandemic as a way for the community to stay connected and enjoy opera-based discussions from home. Virtual classes and conversations will unfold online through innovative video series like Arizona Opera’s UnMic’d, an opportunity to peek behind the curtain and enjoy dynamic conversations between opera professionals and professionals from seemingly unrelated fields. Other Arizona Opera Connection Lab presentations include Behind-the Scenes! A Podcast, and the video series LOUD! (Living Opera, Understanding Diversity).

THE FALLING AND THE RISING | PHOTO BY ZIGGY MACK

THE WORLD OF THEATRE, Here At Home

Arizona Theatre Company’s legacy of world-class theatre continues with its 55th Season, filled with stories that traverse the intricacies and intimacies of familial and personal relationships, celebrating the spectrum of human emotion to ultimately find hope, forgiveness, redemption, and healing.

New York Times Critics’ Pick The Lion opens ATC’s season with its Arizona debut after wowing audiences throughout London. Other long-awaited plays The Legend of Georgia McBride (also a New York Times Critics’ Pick) and the world premiere Pru Payne bring poignant stories to ATC stages.

The State Theatre’s long history of presenting reimagined and reinvented classics continues with The Glass Menagerie and the popular and enduring comedy Private Lives. And Jane Austen’s charming Bennet sisters return in The Wickhams for a new holiday favorite.

“You can’t ever have a real conversation about connections unless you can see the world through someone else’s eyes,” says Sean Daniels, ATC’s Kasser Family Artistic Director. “We strive to create a forum for the ideas and feelings that lead a society to connect, heal and change. Theatre is an emotional art form, and we want each show to start fantastic conversations and spirited debate beyond the theatre walls.”

The Lion by Benjamin Scheuer, directed by Sean Daniels and Alex Stenhouse (September 24 - October 15). The Lion is a story about courage; the music is about finding it. This heartwarming and powerful one-man folk musical tells a mesmerizing true story of survival and redemption, reminding us that great things can come from challenging times. Max Alexander-Taylor stars in the lead role of Ben with a supporting cast of six guitars.

The Wickhams: Christmas at Pemberley by Lauren Gunderson and Margot Melcon, directed by Veronika Duerr (November 5 - December 2). Boisterous Bennet sister Lydia Wickham is joined by her long-lost husband and the home’s downstairs residents, who find themselves amid a holiday scandal, complete with misunderstandings and shenanigans. When the festivities spiral into chaos, Lydia finds her voice in this celebration of family and forgiveness.

The Glass Menagerie by Tennessee Williams, directed by Chanel Bragg (January 21 - February 11). One of the greatest plays of all times, this poetic and raw portrayal of a family on the brink of change is reimagined for Arizona Theatre Company’s stages. This intimate and intense classic that changed the way we tell stories draws from the memories of narrator Tom and explores the complex web of love, longing, loyalty, and constraints that bind families together.

Pru Payne by Steven Drukman, directed by Sean Daniels (March 4 - 25). This ATC world premiere is a remarkable, funny, and lifeaffirming story about the relationship between a mother and son. Esteemed critic Prudence

“Pru” Payne is widely recognized as a wit, a scholar, and a public intellectual; her son Thomas lives in that shadow. But as her

memory begins to fade, all her preconceived notions – about herself and, more importantly, others – also slip away.

Private Lives by Noël Coward (April 15 - May 6). Amanda and Elyot are enjoying a romantic honeymoon – just not with each other. This hilarious classic comedy filled with clever, witty barbs starts when an explosive divorced couple and their new spouses inadvertently honeymoon in adjacent rooms at the same hotel. When combustible chemistry reignites, mayhem occurs, and strong passions and stronger personalities take over.

The Legend of Georgia McBride by Matthew Lopez, directed by Meredith McDonough (June 3 - 24). This big-hearted, fierce, music-filled comedy has been hailed as “stitch-in-your-side funny” by the New York Times. When successful Elvis impersonator Casey loses his gig, a drag show moves in and “The King” transforms into an all-out queen. With snappy zingers and dance-worthy numbers, this wildly entertaining story challenges assumptions with humor and depth.

My experience yesterday at The Rogue was, as usual, transcendent. —E.R., Audience Member

As you walk into The Rogue Theatre, giant puppets and painted Renaissance tapestries greet you. Fresh-baked chocolate chip cookies fill the snack bar. Live musicians play on the stage. An enthusiastic crowd gathers on the colorful Mexican tile in the historic lobby.

When Joe McGrath and Cindy Meier began The Rogue Theatre in 2005, they decided they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with the world’s greatest authors. They wanted to produce theatre that was beautiful and profound. And they wanted to find a group of people, an audience, who longed to share challenging and meaningful stories about the human experience.

Seventeen years later, The Rogue Theatre is still going strong.

The Rogue Theatre is an intimate 170-seat Small Professional Theatre in the heart of Tucson at The Historic Y, with an adjacent

OUT OF This World!

FORits 19th season, Tucson’s GRAMMYnominated musical ensemble transports us OUT OF THIS WORLD with concerts that celebrate everything astronomical to spiritual! As Founding Music Director Eric Holtan says, “Live music is so very important. It’s what connects us, a human experience that we all need to return to, to get away from our echo chambers, our screens. Musical performances do this, connecting us to the ethereal, the magical, our humanity.”

This season features trademark programming of masterworks including Haydn’s greatest triumph, his Creation, Rachmaninoff’s luscious Vespers, and motets by Brahms, Bruckner, and Bach; the Southwest premiere of Helios, a musical journey through the solar system, and the world premiere of Hagen’s Here I Am, a musical and visual celebration of women in song and spoken word from around the world (both premieres featuring dazzling projections with supertitles); plus Tucson’s treasured annual holiday gift of concerts by candlelight.

Additionally, the popular Close-Up Recital Series continues in three different venues - UA’s acoustically intimate Holsclaw Hall, the historic Hotel Congress’ brilliant new Century Room, and the lush, verdant Inner Courtyard at Hacienda del Sol, the latter two with libations available. The recitalists are Emily Marvosh and Edward Vogel (True Concord core audience favorites), plus Metropolitan Opera star Susanna Phillips in a program with which she brought down the house at Carnegie Hall. “The special rapport between our singers and audience is a unique phenomenon” said Holtan, “and recitals are a great way to celebrate that bond.”

Building on the success of collaborations with Biosphere 2, ENR2 and Manzo Elementary School for the world premiere performances of Runestad’s Earth Symphony (“Choral”) in February 2022, more community partnerships will be part of the Takach and Hagen experiences, including an exhibit of the Here I Am portraits at Hotel Congress. January 9 - February 28.

TDSF CELEBRATES

THETucson Desert Song Festival (TDSF) is an annual gathering of great voices, great music-making and beautiful winter weather in Southern Arizona. Each year, the festival brings to Tucson the finest singers from the most important stages of the world to work with the city’s outstanding performing arts organizations.

In 2023, from January 13 through February 19 and from March 24 through April 7, the 11th Annual Tucson Desert Song Festival celebrates heroism and revels in villainy on stage and in song. The stellar participants include Susanna

Phillips in new music with True Concord Voices and Orchestra, Kelley O’Connor in Wagner Lieder and Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony with the Tucson Symphony Orchestra, Metropolitan Opera star Angel Blue in an intimate recital, the collision of high art and unbridled lust in Puccini’s Tosca, and a festival of Baroque cantata and oratorio featuring Nola Richardson.

The festival’s Wesley Green Composer Project continues with popular composer Ricky Ian Gordon, whose two newest operas have received rave reviews. In 2023, a commissioned world-premiere song cycle written by Gordon for rising star baritone Justin Austin will be presented.

Celebrate this extraordinary gathering of singers in Tucson! Between concerts, you can enjoy the beautiful high-desert winter temperatures and recreation, from mountain climbing to golf.

TUCSON'S VISUAL ARTS Go Dramatic!

Tucson’s visual arts venues offer high drama this season, ranging from an internationally known homecoming exhibition of an abstract painting that was ripped from its frame during a brazen heist 37 years ago, to a fantastic holiday-lights display in a botanical garden.

Restored: The Return of Woman-Ochre, by Willem de Kooning, will be on view starting Oct. 8 at the University of Arizona Museum of Art. The painting’s incredible journey – from its theft in 1985 to its reappearance in 2017 at an estate sale in rural New Mexico – is documented, including the painstaking restoration by experts at the Getty Center in Los Angeles.

Another premiere -- LightsUp! A Festival of Illumination – debuts for the holiday season at Tucson Botanical Gardens. The display of more than a million lights in the tree canopy, with dazzling new features such as light tunnels and luminaria chandeliers, will delight Tucson families strolling through the natural desert setting at night.

And on a tinier scale, the Mini Time Machine Museum of Miniatures will charm visitors with exhibits depicting Victorian England, ghost towns of the American Southwest and the Wee Winter Wonderland, featuring holiday traditions from around the world.

Tucson Museum of Art and Historic Block features works by local, Southwestern and Latin American artists. More Than: Expanding Artist Identities from the American West explores how artists incorporate their identities into their work. Arizona Biennial 2023 is a juried exhibition showcasing innovative new works by artists statewide.

Forty miles south, in Tubac, the K. Newby Gallery + Sculpture Garden displays works by more than 85 celebrated painters, sculptors and jewelers, all nationally recognized. The Tubac landmark is celebrating its 35th anniversary.

FARAWAY AND Just as Long Ago…

When the sun sets on summer, The Mini Time Machine Museum’s exhibit season takes visitors to times forgotten and imagined, with Old World winter tales in the featured exhibit Tales from Min’Umbra, and the Community Corner exhibit Trenchard and Steep Street in Victorian Bristol U.K.: A Diorama by Bill O’Malley.

Tales from Min’Umbra was born out of artist and puppeteer Tanya L. Yager’s vision to create theatrical shadow-puppet shows that explore the deeper realms of the imagination. Marvel in a wintery stage as Yager’s miniature shadow puppets narrate Old World Czech, German, and Welsh wintertime fairy tales.

While you’re there, travel back in time to England’s Victorian Bristol, with extraordinary miniature work by Tucson’s own Bill O’Malley. Enjoy a diorama of the buildings that once stood along Trenchard and Steep Street, referencing historic black and white photos and watercolor prints from the mid-1800s.

From England’s southwest, gallop over to a miniature ghost town from the American south-

west! This beloved annual October display of Jean LeRoy’s Buzzard Creek Ghost Town might spook you with its gun-slinging ghouls, eerie lights, and spooky sounds emanating from dusty little abodes. Locals will tell you the town once stood at the Hidden Valley Inn Restaurant on Sabino Canyon Road in Northeast Tucson.

As Tucson’s temperatures finally cool, revel in the museum’s annual transformation into a Wee Winter Wonderland, featuring Holidays Around the World and Through Time. Discover holiday traditions from around the USA, Old World Europe, modern day Japan, and Persia!

The museum of miniatures is sure to delight! Purchase your tickets online to save $1 per ticket or become a museum member and all the stories will be yours for a year!

A HISTORIC HOMECOMING 37 years in the making

For the first time since its theft in 1985, the public can once again see Woman-Ochre at the University of Arizona Museum of Art. Painted by pioneer abstract expressionist Willem de Kooning in the mid-fifties and donated to the UAMA in 1958, Woman-Ochre was a beloved work exhibited widely at the Museum.

It disappeared from public view on November 29, 1985 – a fateful day when it was brazenly cut from its frame, ripped from its backing, rolled up, and stolen from the UAMA. The painting’s whereabouts were unknown for almost 32 years, until August 2017 when it reappeared at an estate sale in the home of a deceased couple in rural New Mexico.

The antique store owners who unknowingly purchased the stolen artwork at the sale immediately returned it to the Museum upon learning its origin.

Since then, Woman-Ochre has been expertly examined and restored by conservators at the Getty Center in Los Angeles, California. The painting returns home this fall and will be on view at the UAMA in the exhibition Restored:

The Return of Woman-Ochre beginning October 8. Join the UAMA in celebrating a historic homecoming for Tucson and the entire art world by visiting the exhibition and attending the accompanying programming! Events will explore themes like art crime, art conservation, and abstraction in the midcentury.

Restored: The Return of Woman-Ochre, Opens October 8

This exhibition documents the incredible journey of Woman-Ochre, guiding visitors through the circumstances of its creation, acquisition by UAMA, theft and miraculous recovery. It concludes by detailing the painstaking restoration work done by conservation experts at the Getty Center.

Although the theft of Woman-Ochre is a sore spot in the painting’s history, it is only one part of an overall heartening journey. Restored to its former glory in its rightful home, Woman-Ochre can continue to inspire for generations to come.
