Scottsdale Desert Stages Theatre Announces Remaining Shows In 2021-22 Season

On Sunday, November 14, during the ALL TOGETHER NOW performance at Scottsdale Desert Stages Theatre that featured young performers from across the Valley of the Sun, Scottsdale Desert Stages Theatre announced the shows that will be produced during the remainder of its 2021-22 season!

Ellen Versen, Executive Director, and Walt Versen, Artistic Director, shared titles in the categories of Mainstage Theatre productions, Teen Theatre productions, Youth Theatre productions, and Actor's Cafe productions. Mainstage, Teen, and Youth productions will be performed in DST's 219-seat Cullity Hall. The DST Actor's Cafe is a 56-seat venue, perfect for smaller, more intimate productions.

The new DST management team strives to make DST a creative, safe, and supportive place where artists are encouraged to grow in their craft. DST looks for shows that will attract new audience members who will be entertained and/or challenged by the works presented. The beginning of the artistic planning process includes matching directors to shows in combinations that will create excitement around the show for artists and audiences alike. Most of the shows' directors were also announced at Sunday's event.
