Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of human expression. While new and evolving technologies change the tools we use to relate human experience, the fundamental need to tell stories remains a constant. Learning how to effectively use new tools is certainly a significant part of what we teach our students, but teaching them to use the new techniques to tell compelling human stories remains the central core of the School of Theatre, Film and Television. The universal ideas that are contained in the theatre productions and films we produce are stories that define us as a culture and as individuals. Arizona Repertory Theatre, the Studio Series and our Film & Television Screenings help to give our students the chance to show their talents and to provide palpable results of what happens in our classrooms and studios. We believe that you, our audience members, will be equally enlightened and delighted this season as you watch and grow with our students, as their diverse voices engage us, and, quite possibly...change our world.

An inspector from the National Endowment for the Arts is due to show up any second, but when a new actor arrives to audition and is mistaken for the inspector, the acting troupe caters to his every whim to try to collect desperately needed funding.

Marroney Circle Of Friends

The Marroney Circle of Friends is a special group of donors dedicated to supporting the continued success of the Theatre Program. Membership gifts are a very important resource, helping support programs such as faculty travel for research and recruitment, guest artist fees, faculty and student travel to national theatre conferences, and faculty and student development and training in new technologies, as well as new program initiatives and enhancements for existing programs. Last season, membership gifts helped fund faculty travel for student recruitment and provided support for guest orchestral artists for our musicals. A Marroneys membership includes unique benefits such as special events just for members that allow interaction with students and faculty, behind-the-scenes looks into the production process, and opportunities to meet and mingle with fellow theatre lovers. Membership also includes recognition in our programs, as well as access to a special customer service line in our box office. Most importantly, membership means faith in our programs and our students.
