Loni Nannini Special to the Arizona Daily Star Musical theater is for everyone, and for the last year, Saguaro City Music Theatre has opened its doors — and its stage — to make that mantra a reality through education and professional performances.
She credits the success of the Saguaro City Studio Arts educational programming to support from local partners such as the Children’s Clinics and the University of Arizona School of Theatre, Film and Television, as well as sponsors including the Kautz Family Foundation, the Sakiyama Family Foundation, Don & Maryam Ferguson and Watermark for Kids. DiGiacinto said the sponsors are aligned in the mission to provide children with all abilities access to the arts.

The theater for young audiences' production of “Seussical” welcomed a sold-out finale.
“This is such a classic in film and live theatre, and we are getting more buzz than with anything we have done so far. We are super excited,” said DiGiacinto, choreographer for the production."The growth of Saguaro City this past year has felt like an embrace from the community encouraging us to do more and offer more. It's nice to reach out and feel Tucson reaching back,” said Drew Humphrey, artistic director of Saguaro City Music Theatre.
