LUNCH JUDY ROLLINGS

Actors Theatre of Phoenix is founded by a group that includes Carol MacLeod – wife of then Phoenix Suns coach John MacLeod – and artistic director Judy Rollings. Their mission is to produce professional theater using local talent, and their first production is “The Time of Your Life” by William Saroyan. (Rollings, pictured in 2006, currently runs the Lunch Time Theater program at the Herberger.)
