Here are some links to past productions:

* SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE

—Kathy Allen of The Arizona Daily Star said " . . . A weakness for great music, great theater and great courage is all that's needed to fall in love with Arizona Onstage Productions' staging of 'Sunday in the Park with George.'"

And James Reel in The Tucson Weekly said " . . . as usual, producer-director Kevin Johnson has critic- proofed his production in a more important way than putting butts into all the seats before reviews appear. He's crafted something of sufficiently high quality that it stands on its own merits and generates a buzz even without help (or hindrance) from critics. And " . . . it's rich artistically, another success for one of Tucson's most ambitious little theater companies."

Chuck Graham, in The Tucson Citizen wrote that " . . . All of which makes for a deceptively artistic experience that can be enjoyed on several levels. For pure drama, the songs of confrontation between Georges and Dot are some of the finest you will ever experience in Tucson."

* THE BIBLE BELT . . . and other accessories

—Kathy Allen of The Arizona Daily Star said " . . . Ryan DeLuca portrays Johnny with energy, innocence and a big, big heart. And oh, how we love this character."

And Gene Armstrong, writing for The Tucson Weekly said " . . . DeLuca is sweet, charming and completely believeable as Johnny . . . " And "It's damn hard to own a stage for some 80 minutes solo and without a break, but DeLuca pulls it off admirably."

Chuck Graham, in The Tucson Citizen wrote that " . . .There is a sweetness and innocence in Ryan DeLuca's performance that give the poignant parts a tug of courageous heartbreak. He just seems so defiantly optimistic."

* BARK! The Musical—James Reel of The Tucson Weekly said ". . . rare is the Arizona Onstage production that doesn't have at least a couple of moments that leave a quivering little cavity where your heart's supposed to be, and even Bark! can choke us up at least three times."

And from The Arizona Daily Star, Levi Long said "Arizona Onstage's producer-director Kevin Johnson keeps this production moving and lets the cast members work their magic. Without elaborate sets, fancy costumes and make-up effects, it's left up to the cast members to deliver their entertaining roles as dogs, and they do this with ease and aplomb."

* Full Monty—Kathleen Allen of The Arizona Daily Star said "We get a musical with some lovely tunes, some rockin'ones . . .we get plenty of laughs, and lots of good feelings. Tons of heart, and even a few tears. . . There were moments in this play that were luminous . . . it's impossible to walk out of this production without a smile stretched across your face."

* Talk of the Town—James Reel of The Tucson Weekly said, "Brandon Kosters gets the part of a gay teen just right in Talk of the Town," and . . . it's an attractive production of a charming and funny play about growing up gay."

* Elegies--Looking Up—This show was, quoting Kathy Allen of The Arizona Daily Star, " . . . a sometimes somber, often joyous tearfest brought on by singers who felt as deeply as they sang well." She went on to sum up the production this way; "Director [Kevin] Johnson has fashioned a simple production . . . less fussy than a full-scale show. He wisely let the music and the singers say it all. And they did that with deep feelings and soaring voices. It was enough to make you cry."

* A New Brain — A New Brain presented a witty and delightfully tuneful look at the life of an artist. It is a musical journey through the mind of Gordon Michael Schwinn -- a man who is about to have dangerous brain surgery.

* Assassins —As the text accompanying the MAC award (given annually by The Arizona Daily Star for best theater in Tucson) said, "Arizona Onstage Productions Assassins didn't have the big bucks for an all-out production, and worked with a mostly student cast. Still, the Carol Calkins (won Best Director) directed show was riveting, heartfelt and powerful."

* Ruthless - The Musical —An uproariously funny parody of musical theater. Think The Bad Seed crossed with Gypsy and All About Eve, with a bit of Valley of the Dolls thrown in. Ruthless runs dangerously close to camp, but with a superb cast, the audiences giggled and laughed loudly, applauding enthusiastically throughout.
