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.

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.
Smoking is not permitted anywhere within the building. Designated smoking areas are located in the front of the theatre only. In the event of smoking onstage, a sign will be posted in the lobby.
ACCESSIBILITY SERVICESThe theatre is equipped with an in-house infrared transmission system for use by patrons with partial hearing loss or limited range of hearing. Complimentary assisted listening headsets are available prior to every performance at the Box Office. Please be prepared to leave a driver’s license or other form of identification while using your headset. Every production is available in American Sign Language. For information on the dates of our ASL performances, please contact the Box Office. An in-house FM broadcast system is used to provide a running audio description of the movement and activities onstage for patrons with limited vision. Pre-show tactile tours of the backstage area and a pre-show narration about our building, the performers, and interpretive information about the play itself are available upon request. Contact the Box Office to make your reservation for the audio described performances. Coordinated with the action onstage, those in open-captioned seating will be able to read the play’s dialogue displayed in large green letters on an LED screen. For open-captioned performance dates, contact the Box Office. Large print and Braille playbills are available for all performances in the House Manager’s office in the lobby of the theatre. Accessible seating is available via the Box Office for all performances. If you would like seating assistance at the theatre, please contact the House Manager at 520-884-4868.
