Comments (0) BEST EQUITY THEATER - 2007
Actors Theatre
True, Phoenix is home to only a handful of professional theater companies. Thus, Actors Theatre is on a short list of troupes with access to bigger budgets, better venues, and better performers. No matter, because what truly sets this company apart, time and again, is its choice of material.
For more than two decades, AT has wowed us with material that other companies pass up, as anyone who saw their awe-inspiring production of The Pillowman late last season can attest. This season, AT is bringing us the equally provocative The Lieutenant of Inishmore by Martin McDonagh, as well as Heather Raffo's 9 Parts of Desire and the world premi?re of Speak Spanish to Me, a commissioned piece by Bernardo Solano about a young love affair at Arizona State University.
Who else but Actors Theatre would bring us such a diverse, risky season? No one.
