The Little Prince by Rick Cummins and Jack Scoullar is a stage adaptation of the beloved novella Le Petit Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. The play follows the journey of a young prince who travels from planet to planet, meeting various characters. Through his encounters with a king, a vain man, a fox, and others, the Little Prince learns valuable lessons about life, love, and human connections. The play explores themes of innocence, imagination, and the search for meaning, making it a heartwarming experience for audiences of all ages.

This youth production is for young actors between the ages 8-18! Auditions took place January 21st, 2025. Our cast list is posted here. Performances will be March 19-21 at 7 pm and March 22 at 2 pm and tickets are on sale now! 

Auditions Soon!

Maricopa Community Theatre is excited to announce auditions for Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s legendary rock opera, Jesus Christ Superstar! We are seeking a diverse and dynamic cast of singers and actors to bring this powerful musical to life.

ABOUT THE SHOW: This modernized production of Jesus Christ Superstar will set the events in present-day times, drawing striking parallels between the story of Jesus and today’s celebrity culture. Exploring the political and interpersonal struggles between Jesus, Judas, and other key figures, the show highlights themes of media influence, public perception, and the cost of fame. This high-energy rock opera features iconic songs like “Superstar,” “I Don’t Know How to Love Him,” and “Gethsemane.”

This mainstage production is for actors 18+! We encourage performers of all backgrounds, races, ethnicities, and gender identities to audition. Auditions will take place the week of March 24, 2025, from 7pm – 9pm at Leading Edge Academy. If interested in auditioning, please fill out a form here and prepare 32 bars of a Rock or Contemporary Musical Theatre song that showcases your vocals. 

This production will be directed by Brittany Randolph and will perform May 28th – 31st 2025 at Leading Edge Academy, Maricopa. 

Board Member Updates!

As Maricopa Community Theatre embarks on a new chapter, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude to Carrie Vargas, the visionary founder and artistic director who has shaped this organization into what it is today. Her dedication, passion, and incredible leadership has inspired countless artists, volunteers, and audience members over the years. She has cultivated a space where creativity and community thrive, and her impact will be felt for generations to come.

We are also thrilled to announce the appointment of Brittany Randolph as our new Artistic Director. With a wealth of experience and a shared passion for the arts, Brittany is poised to continue the legacy of excellence and growth here at MCT. We’re excited for the future and look forward to all the incredible productions and opportunities that lie ahead.

Additional changes resulted in David Vargas being named President and Cherish Forbes as Vice President. We have also made the decision to expand our current Board of Directors. Chase Randolph remains as the Director of Finance, with Michelle Kurban joining as Secretary, Janelle Paris as Director of Marketing, and Andrew Coonts-Kapor as Director of Community Relations.

Thank you, Carrie, for your unwavering commitment, and welcome, Brittany, to the next exciting chapter of our journey. Here’s to many more years of creativity, collaboration, and community!
