THE EFFECT - iTheatre Collaborative - September 8-23, 2017

by Lucy Prebble

Arizona Premier

Is it love or just pharmacology? Hearts racing. Minds reeling. Knees buckling. Connie and Tristan have palpable chemistry—or is it a side effect of a new antidepressant? They are volunteers in a clinical trial, but their sudden and illicit romance forces the supervising doctors to face off over the ethical consequences of their work. Our pill-popping culture is on the examination table in this humorous and scintillating drama. (Mature themes and strong sexual content)

BUILDING THE WALL - iTheatre Collaborative - October 20-November 4, 2017

by Robert Schenkkan


The provocative theatrical event sweeping the nation is set in the near future and deals with one of the most talked about topics of this past election; immigration, building a wall, and mass deportation. An imagined look into our future when campaign rhetoric is turned into real policies, Schenkkan reminds us of the immediacy and power of theater to question who we are, where we might be going, and what happens when fear and resentment form our national psyche.

A bold and unflinching portrait of the man behind the legend, Walt Disney. Walt is going to read you a screenplay he wrote. It’s about his last days on earth.

It’s about everyone who loves him so much, and it’s about how sad they’re going to be when he’s gone. After all, how can they live without him? How can anyone live without him?

CHURCH & STATE - iTheatre Collaborative - May 4 - 19, 2018

by Jason Odell Williams

Arizona Premier

What happens when a politician speaks from his heart? In the wake of a school shooting in his N.C. hometown, a Republican U.S. senator makes an off-the-cuff comment that calls into question his stance on gun control and God-- this, three days before his bid for re-election. As his wife and campaign manager try to contain the damage, this look at how guns, God, and social media influence our political system is, at once, funny, honest, heartbreaking, and uplifting.
