Richard III – School of Theatre, Film & Television

Wonderfully wicked and incredibly entertaining, Richard III tells the tale of Shakespeare’s most notorious villain. Misshapen in both body and mind, the Duke of York conspires and kills his way to the crown. Through cunning language and dastardly deeds, he seduces everyone in his path. But can he maintain his ill-gotten reign or will the ghosts from Richard’s past pull him down? Only a cataclysmic conflict will resolve whether evil will prevail or truth will triumph.

By William Shakespeare

FINAL FOUR PERFORMANCES✨

Don’t miss the final four performances of our production of Anton Chekhov’s brilliant, tragic play, UNCLE VANYA. Examining the troubles of country life in Russia during the late 19th century, this emotional drama resonates to this day.

In an interview, Isabella Santoni said of her character Sonya: “We’re watching this character search, in real-time, for any scrap of hope or comfort. She chooses to believe in hope — a scraggly, distant, beyond-the-veil sort of hope — but still hope.”

Read more from Isabella and other members of the production in today’s story in the Arizona Daily Star: tucson.com/life-entertainment/local/ua-theater-brings-uncle-vanya-to-stage/article_a4099ec2-b34c-...

Uncle Vanya will have performances through Dec. 8 in the Marroney Theatre. Visit theatre.arizona.edu for tickets.

FREE TICKETS to this production are available for all college and high school students. For details, visit azart.fyi/freetftvtix.

KGUN 9 recently reported on the School of Theatre, Film & Television’s record high standing in TheWrap‘s Top Film School rankings. TFTV is now the No. 2 public film school in the country and No. 9 overall, following a data-driven evaluation of more than 60 schools. Reporter Jackie Aguilar interviewed BFA Film & Television seniors Allie Cincera and Cosmo Brusa Zappellini and TFTV Professor Lisanne Skyler about the recognition.

“The ranking not only puts School of Theatre, Film & Television on the map, it also puts U of A and Tucson on the map, and we couldn’t be more proud,” said Skyler. “It was really exciting to see when the rankings came out that if you were an aspiring filmmaker, your top choices would be Los Angeles, New York, Boston, the places that you expect, and Tucson.”

You know what would make it #1? A feature film program. The kind of interactional development, on-set, and distribution learning experience that we’ve been trying to bring to Tucson. However, the school and its faculty haven’t been inclusive or open to expanding its teaching techniques to include this. I have over two decades of industry experience that includes production and development on the studio level, plus I’m working to provide sustainability for indie film distribution.

TFTV alum and rising filmmaker Diana Cadena (BA, ’21) has won a Regional Emmy® for her work on the Arizona Public Media documentary JOHN IS COLORBLIND! She also earned a nomination for a second Emmy® for NAVAJO WEAVERS.

JOHN IS COLORBLIND follows five individuals using corrective glasses that allow them to see colors that they never detected before. Cadena was a videographer on the film alongside Bob Lindberg and Eryka Dellenbach. The film was produced by Cáit NíSíomón, edited by Danny Sax, with graphics from John DeSoto.

“This is only the start of my career, and this Emmy is a reminder that there is more work to be done,” Diana said.

“I am proud of the achievements I’ve had as a Latina woman in film and so very thankful to every kind soul who has helped me along the way.”

Congratulations and Bear Down, Diana!
