Beowulf Alley Theatre...Something for Everyone Whether or Not You're Irish!
The Beauty Queen of Leenane is a Beauty!
"Cynthia Jeffery in the most remarkable performance of the city’s entire theater season completely disappears into the role of Mag, which rhymes with hag, which is exactly who she is."
read the review at Let the Show Begin - Chuck Graham
“We attended the Saturday evening performance of "The Beauty Queen of Leenane" and were overwhelmed by the quality of your production. We had seen the play in London several years ago, and your small company did it every bit as well. The material, including the Irish accents, is difficult, but all four actors played their parts beautifullly and were completely convincing. Hats off to everyone involved with this very fine production! ... You may be sure that we will return to Beowulf Alley whenever possible.”

Beowulf Alley's Late Night Theatre
Word Clouds
by Michael Fenlason & Tomas Ulises-Soto
Stories from the Tragedy in Tucson
Word Clouds
Late Night Theatre at Beowulf Alley, 11 South 6th Avenue, Downtown between Broadway and Congress, presents Word Clouds by Michael Fenlason & Tomas Ulises-Soto. Performances are on Friday and Saturday March 4th, 5th, 11th and 12th at 10:30 p.m. and on Wednesday March 9th at 7:30 PM. Tickets are $10 at the door or $8 advance at beowulfalley.org. For additional information, please call (520) 882-0555. A portion of every ticket sold will be donated to the Community Food Bank.
Word Clouds tells the stories of ordinary and extraordinary Tusconans the weekend of the Safeway shooting and attempted murder of Gabrielle Giffirds. Robert and Cynthia, a pastor, Leon and Sandy, a retiree and his schoolteacher wife, Kurt, a gun enthusiast, and Danny his friend, Lauren, a waitress, and Marissa, a trauma nurse intertwine their stories and their responses to the terrible events of the day. Their own relationships, their hopes, faith and loves play a part in this round of ordinary lives faced with extraordinary tragedy. Like the city we live in, the characters of Word Clouds find a way in the darkness.
Like The Mexican also by Tomas Ulises-Soto and Michael Fenlason, Late Night Theatre at Beowulf Alley creates Word Clouds as reaction to and meditation on the events of southern Arizona and Tucson. We humbly attempt to put the community back into community theater. A discussion will be held following the March 9th and March 12 performance. The cast features Mark Klugheit, Whitney Morton, Lauren Blair Schoor, Nicole Scott, Michael Fenlason, Evan Engle and Tristyn Tucci.

Beowulf Alley Theatre
Beowulf Alley Theatre at 11 South 6th Avenue will present a concert by Irish folk musicians, Scatter the Dust, on Sunday, March 6, 2011, 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $12 up to day before and $15 at the door.

Scatter the Dust is an exciting new trio in Tucson performing lively traditional Irish dance music. The group features Sharon Goldwasser on fiddle, Eric Wilson on the uilleann bagpipes, and Frank Daley on guitar, bodhran, and cittern. The name is inspired by a popular Irish jig titled "Scatter the Mud" but due to a shortage of mud around Tucson, we have no choice but to 'Scatter the Dust'!
Special guests featured in the program include singer Jamie O'Brien, drawing on an extensive background of Irish, English and Scottish folk songs, and a bit of fancy footwork from the Maguire Academy of Irish Dance.
Concerts at the Alley brings Tucson’s best musicians to the stage at Beowulf Alley Theatre!

Old Time Radio Theatre
is Fun on a Tuesday Evening!
Now in its second year!
March 15, 2011
LIFE WITH LUIGI: SPRINGTIME AND THE DANCE LESSON and
THE SHADOW: THE SILENT AVENGER
Life with Luigi was a radio comedy-drama series, which began September 21, 1948 on CBS, broadcasting its final episode on March 3, 1953. The story concerned Italian immigrant Luigi Basco, and his experiences as an immigrant in Chicago. Many of the shows take place at the US citizenship classes that Luigi attends with other immigrants from different countries, as well as trying to fend off the repeated advances of the morbidly-obese daughter of his landlord/sponsor. Luigi was played by J. Carrol Naish, an Irish-American. Naish continued in the role on the short-lived CBS television version in 1952 and was later replaced by Vito Scotti when the series was briefly revived in the spring of 1953. With a working title of The Little Immigrant, Life with Luigi was created by Cy Howard, who earlier had created the hit radio comedy, My Friend Irma.
The Shadow is a collection of serialized dramas, originally in pulp magazines, then on 1930s radio and then in a wide variety of media, that followed the exploits of the title character, a crime-fighting vigilante with psychic powers. One of the most famous pulp heroes of the 20th century.
The Shadow has been featured in comic books, comic strips, television and at least five movies. The radio drama is well-remembered for those episodes voiced by Orson Welles. On September 26, 1937, The Shadow radio drama officially premiered with the story "The Deathhouse Rescue", in which the character had "the power to cloud men's minds so they cannot see him." This was a contrivance for the radio; in the magazine stories, The Shadow did not have the ability to become literally invisible; he influenced the minds of his opponents by making them see him a few feet to the right or left of where he really stood. "The weed of crime bears bitter fruit. Crime does not pay.... The Shadow knows!"
