Archipelago by Caridad Svich - Reserve Your Seat Now!

TUCSON: 8pm Saturday, Oct. 11th @ The Temple Lounge
PHOENIX: 7pm Sunday, Oct. 12th @ Herberger Theater Center, KAX Stage

A work of linguistic beauty and eloquence, Archipelago introduces a transient world, both a part of our existence and somehow separate from it, that defies description in its quest to explore why, ultimately, we do what we do.  In a place that may be here or might not exist, in an age that may be now or might be yet to come, Caridad Svich sculpts a tale of love, of time, of poetry, and of the imagination from which her characters construct, deconstruct, and reshape a world for an audience to absorb, to reflect, and reassemble. 

$5 at the door.  Reserve your seat now by emailing cafebohemia@aztc.org.

Tucson: A New Place for New Plays

"New plays are essential for the theater, and essential for those of us who look to the theater to amuse us, illuminate us and provoke us. We love the old stuff, but hunger for the new, too...Let’s do what must be done so that Tucson can be an important and thriving part of American theater."

-Kathy Allen, Arizona Daily Star

2014 National Latino Playwriting Award Announced!

Congratulations to Kristiana Colón's Octagon, the unlikely story of eight young poets' win-at-all-costs and damn-the-consequences approach to the three-minute competition of a poetry slam, and the winner of the 2014 National Latino Playwriting Award.

"The judges savored the rich linguistic tapestry of Kristiana Colón's exciting new play, Octagon," said ATC Playwright-in-Residence Elaine Romero.  "Theatre and poetry slam together is the theatrical equivalent of spontaneous combustion in this new play that looks at the personal and the political and how tough it can be to parse the two."

Runner-up for the 2014 National Latino Playwriting Award is Mario Correa's Commander, the story of an ambitious politician battling public doubts, personal demons and his alcoholic partner in a troubled quest to become America's first openly gay president.  Set very much in the current day, Commander explores the outer limits of tolerance; what Americans will tolerate from those who lead us, and what human beings will tolerate from those who love us.

"The judges are honored to recognize Mario Correa's sharp political drama, Commander," Romero said.  "A play of this moment."
