What is Theatre Arts Tucson?

Theatre Arts Tucson began as Stage Foundation Community Theater (later Stage Foundation Theater) in 2023, which was founded by local director, producer and actor Zach Wetzel. The company's goal was to open theatre doors for audiences and actors around Tucson. During its time as a production company, SFCT produced critically praised productions like Camelot, Man of La Mancha, The Trial of John Brown, and others. In the summer of 2024, Wetzel decided to shift gears and focus on local theatre news, creating a hub for information on Tucson's rapidly expanding theatre scene. To design the website, he brought on Nathaniel Wiley, a local actor and writer. 

Wetzel then handed the keys to Wiley, who unveiled the Theatre Arts Tucson calendar, which includes the dates of all of the major theatre productions in Tucson. The site continues to maintain the goals of Zach Wetzel, existing to share theatre information and performance dates for patrons and theatre lovers around Tucson and its surrounding areas.
