Performance - In the Devil's Frying Pan

Written by Lori Vander Maten
Directed by Mark Clemente

Desert Foothills Theater is proud to produce this world-premiere Arizona Centennial event. The Devil’s Frying Pan, as some referred to Arizona, was a dry, desolate, dangerous place. Just getting here was fraught with danger and staying—that’s when it got really interesting. In the Devil’s Frying Pan introduces you to those hearty folk brave enough to settle the land we now call Arizona. Through oral histories and other first- person narratives, the pivotal moments that culminated in Arizona achieving statehood are shared from the perspectives of those who helped make it happen. Experience history as as you immerse yourself in the stories, poetry, music and imagery of that time! Discover the origins of the indomitable Arizona spirit that continues today.
