Musefest

LET THE INSPIRATION GAMES BEGIN!

Phoenix Area Creatives

Don’t just see a show, make a show and show a show.

AN AUDACIOUS EXPERIMENT ON INSPIRATION AND COMMUNITY

Muse Fest: The Inspiration Games is a playful, myth-inspired theatre festival for Phoenix area creatives seeking a boost of inspiration and human connection in a digital, distracted world.

Over two weekends in November, performances inspired by the Greek Muses ignite a chain reaction of new creative works, culminating in a community showcase built by the audience itself. With live shows, creative writing sessions, inspirational games, costume contests and laurel wreaths for our champions, this festival is a celebration of making art together.

Selena and Judy Go Dancing

From the ariZoni Award-winning playwright of Orange Skies and Radio Free Europa, Selena and Judy Go Dancing is a romantic comedy with an experimental twist: dramatic & comedic scenes play out as normal, but a Master of Ceremonies is always present onstage, calling out changes to the action & dance moves like a line dancing MC directing the crowd. Not only do Selena and Judy have to contend with the hurdles of ex-girlfriends, crypto bros, romantic insecurities, and their mounting dread over America’s fascist makeover, they also have to put up with some weirdo telling them to drop everything & do the cha-cha.

Starring Madeleine Miller, Marcella Grassa, Megan Holcomb, Shelly Trujillo, and Spencer Beckwith.
