Don Bluth Front Row Theatre/Stage Directing (2012-present)

Don Bluth's administrative team opened up Don Bluth Front Row Theatre, a non-profit community theatre where Mr. Bluth directed classic plays, in 2012. He also directed Youth Shows from 1990 until 2016. This community theatre remained at it's Shea location until 2020, when it was forced to move to a new location. After a brief delay, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a new theatre location opened on Via Linda in Scottsdale, Arizona, where it continues producing plays under the same theatre name today.

Don Bluth Front Row Theatre has intimate seating, providing a "front row" experience for all who attend. While different directors do take turns creating magic on the Don Bluth Front Row Theatre Stage, every now and then Don Bluth himself will direct a show there, such as the zany musical "Crazy for You" (2025) and the stage adaptation of "Anastasia" (2024). The latter show was able to give Don Bluth a full-circle moment, directing a stage adaptation of the animated film that he directed and produced.

When he is not directing, Mr. Bluth will occasionally stop in to watch a show performance- although the theatre staff can never guarantee when he will do so. If patrons of the theatre don't get to see Don Bluth in person, they can at least view some of his artwork and/or purchase his books that are on display in Don Bluth Front Row Theatre's lobby. 72.216.241.119 (talk) 22:11, 4 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted your changes. Reasons:

Too detailed. Could be reduced to about a third without losing relevant information.
Reads to much like an ad for the theater. See WP:PROMO, WP:FLOWERY and WP:NPOV.
Too few sources. [1] is a WP:PRIMARY source, which isn't great. [2] is an independent source, which is good, but it basically describes one event.
We already mentioned the theater in a previous section.

I wouldn't be opposed to a section about Bluth's theater work, but it shouldn't be too long, and it must use neutral language. If we add such a section, we should also move a few sentences from other sections into it. — Chrisahn (talk) 02:04, 5 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
