Theatre West offers full-length plays and musicals during the Stardust Theatre season in Sun City West.
Short productions are also offered after regular club meetings on the third Tuesday of each month in the afternoon. Sun City West residents who are interested in any or all phases of theatre, including participation in plays or musical productions, are welcome to join. Members aspiring to act on stage can learn technique and gain experience through various other activities.
Theatre West became a chartered club in 1980 and now has hundreds of members. With the completion of the Stardust Theatre in 1989, Theatre West became a viable performing art club. Its success has attracted sell-out audiences for every production.
The club also added a fully equipped scenery shop and a storage building to Recreation Center property using funds accumulated from performance proceeds. During the 2024 season Stardust Theatre was refitted with state-of-the-art lighting and sound equipment. Income from ticket sales (after expenses) is used to continually improve the theatre.
The Stardust Theatre is open to all club members and their accompanied guests. Performances are open to the general public.
