Arizona Theatre Matters 2026–27 Season banner in a handmade theatre-collage style with six season offerings and Glendale International Fringe Festival information.

Six offerings. One season of inquiry, performance, memory, imagination, and artistic emergence.

Arizona Theatre Matters’ 2026–27 season moves among new work, performance, and festival practice. Each offering creates a different set of conditions for artists and audiences to encounter what might otherwise remain unseen.

Accessibility is not an addition to the season. It is part of the material from which the work is made and shared.
