About Tarzan
Our immersive production of Tarzan brought Disney’s beloved story to life like never before. Under the visionary direction of Giancarlo Rodaz, audiences were transported into the heart of the jungle, surrounded by sweeping visuals, acrobatic performances, and a soundtrack featuring Phil Collins’ iconic music under the musical direction of Katie Duerr.
The show ran from July 17 to August 3, 2025, at the Area Stage Black Box Theatre and received rave reviews from audiences for its creativity, talent, and originality.
A Big Thank You
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who came to experience Tarzan and supported our cast, crew, and creative team. These nominations are a testament to the hard work, passion, and artistry that go into every Area Stage production.
We look forward to celebrating on November 17 at FAU and continuing to bring bold, immersive theatre experiences to our community.
