Tucson, AZ ---Invisible Theatre in Tucson, AZ has been awarded $25,350 from the Arizona Commission on the Arts, an agency of the State of Arizona. The grant was one of 367 grants awarded for Fiscal Year 2022, representing a total investment of $5,425,146 in nonprofit arts organizations across the state.

The Invisible Theatre (IT) of Tucson, a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, is dedicated to producing quality theatre and arts education experiences for all facets of the community, in an intimate setting that showcases local professional talent and guest artists. IT takes its name from the invisible energy that flows between a performer and audience, creating the magic of theatre. Started in 1971 as an arena for local playwrights, the theatre has expanded its programs to include adaptations of classics and recent Off-Broadway plays and musicals, while continuing to encourage new playwrights through both full productions and stage readings. Our commitment to artistic excellence and quality has made the Invisible Theatre a very visible force in the local, national, and international arts scene.
