'Guys And Dolls' at Arizona Broadway Theatre is a perfect sendup to golden ages musicals offering an evening full of highlights you're unlikely to find anywhere else in The Valley.

"The Very Hungry Caterpillar Show" is the perfect show to introduce young children to theatre.

The Miracle of Valley Youth Theatre Comes From Within. "The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane" is beautifully helmed by Carolyn Marie Wright. Congratulation to VYT, Dwayne Hartford and Bobb Cooper for continuing to be progressive leaders in youth theatre and for refusing to shy away from difficult or mature topics. The magic of Valley Youth Theatre comes from its brave staff and the irrefutable love and respect they have for their audience.
