The high-stakes world of middle-school spelling competitions takes center stage, as do all kinds of pubescent angst and awkwardness, in this hit musical comedy about six overachieving would-be wordsmiths and their neurotic parents. As the tweens spell their way through a series of words, they also tell funny and touching stories from their personal lives. The hilariously catchy songs capture teenage troubles at their worst and most amusing, and the hard-fought contest teaches everyone the valuable lesson that winning isn't everything. "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" was nominated for multiple Tonys in its original run, winning for Best Book and Best Performance by a Featured Actor. Catch this fun-filled production at Scottdale’s Desert Stages Theatre Mainstage. [less-]

"Two Mile Hollow" centers on the Donnellys — a famous, dysfunctional, Caucasian family so obsessed with their own privilege that they don't know what to make of their son's ethnically ambiguous assistant who comes to visit. Through the weekend, hilarity ensues as siblings argue over women and motorcycles, a mother creates self-loathing in her gluten-intolerant daughter and complicated and unique secrets are unveiled over white wine. With some unconventional casting, award-winning playwright Leah Nanako Winkler creates a laugh-out-loud comedy that helps us see the inherent inequities on stage and in life. The perfect parody during this national moment, when our identity as Americans is being questioned more than ever before, "Two Mile Hollow" can be enjoyed at the Tempe Center for the Arts. [less-]

Be transported back to ancient Rome and experience the wild antics of the mischievous slave Pseudolus in Stephen Sondheim's laugh-out-loud musical "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum". This slapstick romp sings and dances its way through mistaken identities, a house full of courtesans and an elaborate web of lies -- all adding up to one uproarious night of theater. The winner of six Tony Awards, "Forum" is one of the funniest musicals ever written, as Sondheim collaborated with writer Larry Gelbart ("M*A*S*H", "Tootsie") to seamlessly combine situations from the timeless comedies of Roman playwright Plautus with the fast-paced, slapstick energy of classic vaudeville. Step into the Peoria Center for the Performing Arts and enjoy classic Sondheim showtunes like "Lovely," "Bring Me My Bride" and the Broadway favorite "Comedy Tonight." [less-]
