Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre Names new Co-Artistic and Managing Directors
The Tucson, Ariz. theatre welcomes a new generation of leaders
Posted: March 27th, 2025
Scoundrel & Scamp welcomes a new generation of leaders!
After helming eight award-winning seasons, the Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre’s Producing Artistic Director and co-founder Bryan Rafael Falcón will step aside this July to welcome new leaders Annika Maher and Zac Austin.
Since co-founding the Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre in 2016, Bryan and Elizabeth Falcón have established a dynamic cultural hub in Tucson, known for producing bold new programming like the MacFestival, presenting stories that speak to the region, and serving as an artistic home for world-class physical theatre artists such as Wolfe Bowart (The WoBo Show, One Twig at a Time) and Lisa Sturz (Red Herring Puppets).
Austin and Maher have been integral to the success of the theater over the last four seasons, serving in various capacities as artists, producers, and managers. Both bring a shared passion for live performance that encourages community, with deep roots in the Tucson arts scene and a commitment to building upon the creative foundation established during Bryan’s tenure.
“When Elizabeth and I founded the S&S, we did so with a desire to give back to the Tucson community that we love so much,” says Bryan. “I am incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together and I know the theatre is in excellent hands with Annika and Zac, whose talent, vision, and dedication will guide The Scoundrel & Scamp into an exciting future. Elizabeth and I will continue to support that vision through our participation on the Board of the S&S.”
“We are honored to step into this role and continue the incredible work that Bryan and Elizabeth have initiated,” said Maher and Austin. “The Scoundrel & Scamp has always been a place where artists, audiences, and collaborators come together to create something meaningful. We look forward to growing that vision, deepening our community ties, and amplifying new voices.”
