Arizona Theatre Company (ATC), in collaboration with The Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre and Winding Road Theater Ensemble, is producing RomeroFest, a month-long celebration of the diverse, thoughtful and impactful works of ATC Playwright-in-Residence Elaine Romero with digital performances by theatre companies across the U.S. and in Mexico in March.
Subscribe In the American theatre, we foolishly only do celebrations of a body of work when a playwright dies or moves away. Let s not wait for either with Elaine, said ATC Artistic Director Sean Daniels. Elaine Romero is an internationally produced and recognized playwright who chose to make Tucson her home. She has been Playwright-in-Residence at ATC for over 20 years. It s time for us to start celebrating the artists that are here, and how better to do that but by experiencing her work. She is an important voice of our generation – and just a ton of fun – so who doesn t want more Elaine around?
