Bright lights. Glamorous gowns. And finger-snapping, toe-tappin’ music.  The joint is jumpin’ and we’re taking misbehavin’ to a whole new level! Travel back to Harlem’s sassy, swinging ‘30s with this riveting, Tony Award-winning musical —exuberantly performed by a quintet of irresistible talents. Spend a joyous evening partying with one of the greatest jazz songwriters of all time, Thomas “Fats” Waller.  A composer and pianist with a legendary lust for life, he created jubilant melodies, soulful ballads and gleeful love songs like I’m Gonna Sit Right Down and Write Myself a Letter, Honeysuckle Rose, I Can’t Give You Anything but Love and, of course, Ain’t Misbehavin’.  This is one show that may just bring the house down!  One never knows … do one?

PLEASE NOTE:  Arizona Theatre Company's policy is that children under 4 years are not allowed inside the theatre.

 Julius Caesar
by William Shakespeare

Date:  Friday, January 22, 2010

jan@... to reserve your seat and receive payment information
Deadline for payment:  Payment needs to be received by December 1, 2009

Shakespeare’s account of the effects of tyranny, assassination, and rebellion on a country and its people is gripping theatre at its best. Historically-based on events surrounding the death of Julius Caesar and its aftermath, this play has had meaning through the ages. Though Brutus and Cassius dominate the second half, it is Caesar’s ghost that hovers over the play. Set in the American Civil War, this penetrating and powerful production is not to be missed. Directed by Richard Baird.

 

Southwest Shakespeare's policy:   As a courtesy to both artists and patrons, any disruptive person or persons will be asked to leave.  We recommend children under the age of 5 not attend our performances.   Also, keep in mind that the subject matter of some Shakespeare plays may be too mature for some children.   Typically Southwest Shakespeare is most appropriate for high school and/or mature junior high students.

Center Dance Ensemble created and first performed "Snow Queen" in 1990 as a 20-minute piece and have presented it every year since, adding new elements and passages to flesh it out and make it a full-length production. This magical retelling of the Hans Christian Andersen classic set to music by Sergei Prokofiev has become a holiday favorite for the entire family.  The Arizona Republic says:  "Snow Queen is a civic treasure (that) belongs only to Phoenix and can be seen nowhere else . . . a jewel of theatrical flourish that can inspire children for the rest of their lives."   

 

PLEASE NOTE:  This student matinee is NOT the full length performance, it is approximately 1 hour long and will be selected scenes plus a question and answer session with the dancers and choreographer/director.  

 

Remember that this theatre does NOT issue individual tickets, I will have a group invoice.  Therefore, we will meet at 9:00am in front of the theatre to gather as a group and be ready to go inside when they begin seating.   Please check in with me so that I know that you have arrived.  I have found that people are able to locate my identical twin daughters in a crowd easier than finding me.   They always dress alike, and their photographs can be seen at http://www.theparsonsfamily.com .   If you arrive late, it's possible that we've already gone into the theatre.     Let the theatre company representative know that you are in Jan Parsons' Homeschool group.   I always let them know if there are families that haven't arrived when we go into the theatre.  It is at their sole discretion, however, on when and where you are seated.  Most of the companies fill the theatre from front to back, row by row, so it's probable that you will not sit with our group if you arrive late.  They may choose to seat other groups before you.  If the show has already begun, they may require you to wait for an appropriate time so as not to disturb others, meaning that you may miss some of the show.  

 

Please see "Frequently Asked Questions" regarding refund policy and for other important information.
