The Phoenix metro theater scene is about to get a little bigger.

Neon Cactus Playhouse will make its debut with a performance called “Big Shows Small Box,” in which big Broadway shows are done — as the name suggests — in a very small space. In this case, that space will also be outside.

George Canady is the artistic director of Neon Cactus Playhouse, and he joined The Show to talk about this new endeavor.
