Outside of her notable acting and directing accolades, Bragg has also co-founded two initiatives including The Soul of Broadway performance troupe and The United Colours of Arizona Theatre, with an emphasis to inspire diversity, equity, and true inclusion within the state’s local arts community.
Williams was a Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright whose other impactful works include “A Streetcar Named Desire” and “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.”
Performances will take place at the Temple of Music and Art, 330 S. Scott Ave., in Tucson, and at the Herberger Theater Center, 222 E. Monroe St., in Phoenix.
Tickets start at $25, and are available at atc.org or 1-833-ATC-SEAT.
Founded in 1966 and celebrating its 55th season, Arizona Theatre Company is led by Executive Director Geri Wright and incoming Kasser Family Artistic Director Matt August.
