Discover the Historic Marroney Theatre in Tucson

The Marroney Theatre, a cornerstone of the performing arts in Tucson, Arizona, opened its doors in 1956 with a production of “Hamlet.” Originally named The University Theatre, it was later renamed in honor of Peter R. Marroney, who led the theatre department for 36 years and was instrumental in shaping its legacy.

Situated prominently, the theatre is one of Arizona’s premier theatrical venues. Its opening marked a new era for the arts in the state and influenced the development of numerous other venues throughout Arizona.

Throughout its history, the Marroney Theatre has seen numerous upgrades to maintain its status as a top-tier facility. The most recent renovations, completed in February 2024, have significantly enhanced the theater’s infrastructure and patron experience. The front of the building, including the east entry, lobby, box office, and restrooms, has recently seen renovations. These improvements ensure a comfortable and welcoming environment for all visitors.

In addition to these upgrades, the auditorium itself has received new seating and state-of-the-art screening equipment. This transformation allows the theatre to double as one of Tucson’s most technologically advanced film screening rooms, broadening its offerings to include both live performances and film screenings.

Located in the vibrant heart of Tucson, the theatre continues to be a hub for cultural and artistic expression. Its programming includes a variety of performances that cater to diverse audiences, from classic plays to modern theatrical productions.

Plan your visit to the Marroney Theatre to experience the rich history and contemporary charm of this iconic Tucson venue. Whether you’re a fan of traditional theater or modern film, the Marroney Theatre offers a compelling lineup of events in a newly enhanced setting. Check out their schedule for upcoming performances and screenings.
