UA Arizona Arts free screening of "The Thief Collector."

 

The Thief Collector

A Free Film Screening

October 6, 2022

A monumental piece of art history returns to its rightful home at the University of Arizona Museum of Art. Save your front row seat at a free screening of “The Thief Collector.”

Tickets and info: https://arizonaartslive.com/the-thief-collector

Willem de Kooning’s “Woman-Ochre” is one of the most valuable paintings of the 20th century. In 1985, it vanished into the Arizona desert after being cut from its frame. Three decades later, the missing painting was found hanging in the home of Jerry and Rita Alter in rural New Mexico.

“The Thief Collector” takes a deep look at how a mild-mannered couple allegedly pulled off one of the greatest art heists of a generation. Explore the complicated dynamics of family and just how far people will go to weave their own grandiose narratives.

Join us for a free, ticketed screening in Centennial Hall.

The University of Arizona Museum of Art presents “Restored: The Return of Woman-Ochre” with a public opening on Oct. 8, 2022. The exhibition documents the incredible journey of Woman-Ochre, guiding visitors through the circumstances of its creation, acquisition by UAMA, theft, and miraculous recovery. It concludes by detailing the painstaking restoration work done by conservation experts at The Getty Center.

LEGALLY BLONDE THE MUSICAL opens the 2022/23 Theatre Season at the UArizona School of Theatre, Film & Television

 

TUCSON, Ariz. -  "Omigod You Guys!" The University of Arizona School of Theatre, Film & Television (TFTV) opens the 2022/23 theatre season with Legally Blonde the Musical, the light-hearted and award-winning musical based on the much-adored movie of the same name.

 

Legally Blonde the Musical follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. Hilarious and heart-warming, the production explodes with memorable songs and dynamic dances.

 

The musical, which debuted on Broadway in 2007, is based on the classic Reese Witherspoon 2001 comedy.

 

Christie Kerr directs and choreographs a cast of 28, all students in TFTV's Acting/Musical Theatre programs. For many cast members, this production is especially significant: Legally Blonde marks their first onstage production for the public since quarantine.

 

"Legally Blonde the Musical is an exciting show and I couldn't think of a better way to kick off Arizona Repertory Theatre's 2022-2023 season," says Kerr. "Through her hard work, Elle Woods - played by junior Lillie Langston - realizes her potential and proves herself to the world making everyone a believer. The message of believing in yourself and staying true to yourself is timeless. In a time where we need joy and color in our lives, Elle is here to help us all."

 

Legally Blonde runs Oct. 2-16, 2022 at the Marroney Theatre at the University of Arizona with preview performances on Oct. 2 and 5. This will be the last production in the Marroney for the time being. Theatre renovations begin this October with an anticipated re-opening in the fall of 2023.

Faustus: That Damned Woman
by Chris Bush

To what lengths would you go to achieve true freedom? Are institutions of power and privilege vulnerable to anything less than supernatural deconstruction?

Anita the Musical - 1st Public Reading!

 

 

Saturday October 15, 4pm 

Harold Dixon Studio Theatre - UA School of Theatre, Film, & Television 

FREE

 

After a year of closed development workshops, Borderlands Theater invites the general public to the first public reading of playwright Milta Ortiz' most ambitious work to date written in collaboration with composer and co-lyricist Quetzal Guerrero. Directed by Kinan Valdez, featuring UA Theatre and Pima theatre students, and Borderlands Theater actors, the reading is co-presented by the UA School of Theatre, Film, & Television. Anita was commissioned by Borderlands Theater and initial development was supported by a National Association for Latina/o/x Arts and Culture Border Narrative Change Grant, a Mellon Projecting All Voices Fellowship awarded to Milta Ortiz from Arizona State University and Network for Ensemble Theaters grants. This current workshop is supported by the NEA Musical Theatre division.

 

About the Musical

Anita, like the other girls at Southwest Skies youth shelter, has been separated from her parents at the border. Trying to find them, Anita stumbles into Luz Dorada, a charismatic PR executive at the shelter's PR blitz. Anita's exuberance wins Luz over, and she eventually signs on to help her find her parents.

 

Anita, the musical, centers Latina characters and pays homage to the intermingling of the Southwest borderlands with cumbia, bolero, jazz, and trap pop fusions. Anita is the timeless tale of resilience and hope against all odds highlighting the power in community.
