When disco diva, Deloris Van Cartier, witnesses a murder, she is put in protective custody in the one place the cops are sure she won't be a found: a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and uptight Mother Superior. Using her unique disco moves and singing talent to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church and community but, in doing so, blows her cover. Soon, the gang is giving chase, only to find them up against Deloris and the power of her newly found sisterhood.
Filled with powerful gospel music, outrageous dancing and a truly moving story, Sister Act will leave audiences breathless. The cast is chock full of amazing roles for women of all ages, making this a perfect choice for high schools and community theatres. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, Sister Act is reason to REJOICE!
The Importance of Being Earnest
January 9-25, 2026
Venue: Mesa Arts Center 1 E Main St, Mesa, AZ 85201
Wilde’s most beloved comedy gets a delightful twist in this clever, fast-paced production of The Importance of Being Earnest. When two charming young men each adopt the name "Ernest" to escape their social obligations, they find themselves tangled in a web of mistaken identities, romantic mishaps, and outrageous revelations. Add in two strong-willed young women, a cucumber sandwich or two, and the formidable Lady Bracknell, and you've got a recipe for scandalous fun. This version keeps Wilde’s razor-sharp wit intact while reimagining the world of Victorian manners with a bold, modern flair. Expect elegance, absurdity, and a few surprises along the way. Earnest has never been this much fun.

Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, Jonathan Larson's Rent follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. The physical and emotional complications of the disease pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom and Angel. Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble. Benny has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends. Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.
