THE MINUTES
by Tracy Letts
directed by Louis Farber
Tempe Center for the Arts Studio Theatre
September 27 - October 12, 2024
Nominated for the 2022 Tony Award for Best Play
From the celebrated author of August: Osage County comes this scathing new comedy about small-town politics and real-world power that exposes the ugliness behind some of our most closely-held American narratives while asking each of us just how far we would go to keep from becoming history’s “losers.” Also…head kitty Ron May will return to the Stray Cat stage as part of the cast.
“…one of the most thrilling new plays on Broadway this season even if recent real-life events hadn’t made it seem as uncanny as it is funny and, ultimately, disarming.” - Deadline
SWEAT
by Lynn Nottage
directed by Chanel Bragg
Tempe Center for the Arts Studio Theatre
November 22 - December 7, 2024
2017 Pulitzer Prize Winner
In the industrial town of Reading, Pennsylvania, a group of friends spend their days on the factory floor and their nights sharing drinks, secrets and laughs. But then layoffs and picket lines begin to erode their trust, and they find themselves pitted against each other in a scalding fight for self-preservation. A brave dive into the fractured heart of working-class America.
“In this exciting, Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Lynn Nottage shows why she's earned the title of one of the finest living contemporary playwrights in America.” – Chicago Theatre Review
FETAL
by Trista Baldwin
directed by E. E. Moe
Tempe Center for the Arts Studio Theatre
February 14 - March 1, 2025
Your body is their battleground
An electrifying new play written in reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, FETAL puts a personal face (four personal faces, actually) on an issue that has long been used as a political cudgel. A harrowing journey of four fictional women in a Texas clinic who represent countless real women whose choices have all too recently been ripped away from them.
“Turns out, yes, we do need this play, urgently…one of major events of this still young theatre season.” - Talkin’ Broadway
LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
book and lyrics by Howard Ashman
music by Alan Menkin
directed by Ron May
Tempe Center for the Arts Studio Theatre
May 3 - 18, 2025
Feed me, Stray Cat!
The characters are the same. The songs are the same. But the show won’t be. We have watched this long-time favorite on local stages for decades and accrued a whole rolodex of thoughts in the vein of, “…what would happen if we did a production Stray Cat style?” Welp. Time to find out! We’re about to do everything we can to put the ‘horrors’ back into the little shop y’all know and love.
“Holy $&!@&* - IS THIS A PRANK?!?!” - Most of you reading this
“nope.” - Stray Cat Theatre
