Review Highlights: RICHARD III - Southwest Shakespeare Company

Click here for more information on this production that runs through October 24
"Like most of Shakespeare's works, Richard III can be a demanding piece, for both a production's cast and the audience. While it's set over 600 years ago, and filled with political maneuvering and plenty of deception, Southwest Shakespeare Company's production makes it all feel remarkably accessible. The cast, led by Keath Hall as Richard, operates like a well-oiled machine, delivering Shakespeare's prose with clarity while creating identifiable characters whose ambitions, fears, and personal conflicts keep the drama engaging. The result is an incredibly solid production that balances the play's historical weight with the excitement, dark humor, and suspense that make Shakespeare's works so enduring." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
Auditions for TROLLS, JR at Desert Foothills Theater announced for November 19 & 20
DFT Trolls Jr. Casting Call for Ages 8-14!
Auditions are officially open for our upcoming production of TROLLS Jr.! Youth actors can sign up for a 5-minute audition slot on November 19-20.
TROLLS JR. IS BRAND NEW AND DFT IS EXCITED TO BE AMONG THE FIRST IN THE COUNTRY TO PERFORM!
ABOUT THE SHOW:
Trolls JR. is based on the irreverent DreamWorks Animation movie franchise and features a colorful, wondrous world populated by hilariously unforgettable characters. The show follows the overly optimistic Trolls, constantly with a song on their lips, and the comically pessimistic Bergens, who are only happy when they have Trolls in their stomach.
The Troll thespians in Poppy’s company live by their motto: the show must go on. But when a tyrannical foreign emissary arrives in Bergenland, expectations are raised, forcing the Trolls to totally rework their show or risk being served up in the name of diplomacy by a Chef rehired and out for revenge.
Audition Dates: November 19-20
Mackenzie Moller, Director
Jackie Paul, Music Director
Rachael Madden, Choreographer
Show Dates: February 18-21, 2027
Show Location: Cactus Shadows Fine Arts Center
