FOUNTAIN HILLS THEATER ANNOUNCES THEIR 2025-26 SEASON
Fountain Hills Theater is pleased to announce its 2025-26 season! Theater is a powerful art form—it holds a mirror up to society, explores the depths of human emotion, and can transport audiences to other worlds with just a few actors and a stage. It can challenge ideas, spark conversations, and create empathy by making the audience feel what the characters feel. In many ways, believing in theater is believing in the potential for connection, transformation, and understanding. Believe in the magic. Believe in the transformation. Believe in the power. Believe in theater!
