The Chicken & the Egg: Life Cycles

One Day Only on January 13th at 4pm!

Many a human has lain awake in bed
Wondering which came first, the chicken or the egg?
The mystery forms an endless loop,
Played out each day in the chicken coop.

The Chicken and the Egg is a lively shadow puppet play about the life cycles of the various plant and animal groups. The stage is an inflatable chicken with an egg-shaped shadow screen. Animated shadow sequences are introduced with original songs and colorful puppets.

Audiences learn about plants and animals from birth through developing into adults, reproduction, aging, and death. They learn that different species spend varying periods of time in each stage of development and that they may look the same, similar, or completely different at specific stages.

This educational play teaches and entertains, exploring science through art!

For Scoundrels and Scamps of all ages!

SAPAC & The Inner Voice Studio present the musical ALICE BY HEART

Southern Arizona Performing Arts Company  and The Inner Voice Studio present

 

ALICE BY HEART

by Duncan Sheik and Steven Sater
 

 

 

 

Alice by Heart is a stirring indie-folk musical inspired by "Alice in Wonderland", that asks serious questions about the purpose of art in hard times, escapism and grief.

In Alice by Heart, teens are taking shelter in an underground train station during the London bombing blitz of 1941. In order to distract themselves, they take on familiar characters, including the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, Caterpillar, Cheshire Cat and Queen of Hearts and use found objects as props. As they travel through the tale, the actors explore the poignancy of first love, coming to terms with loss, and finding the courage to move forward. This musical encourages us all to celebrate the transformational power of the imagination, even in the harshest of times.

We highly recommend attending as it will aid in your enjoyment of this beautiful and complicated show and give you a chance to meet the amazing performers and creative team. The Tea Party is being sponsored  by Tucson's own Scented Leaf Tea House with thematic drinks made by their mixologist just for this show! We will also have Alice in Wonderland Snacks!

 

 

 

 

ALICE BY HEART PRESS RELEASE

 

 

 

We want to bring creative, innovative, and immersive theater to Tucson.
 

We have created a theater and stage at 3330 E Speedway Blvd (the former Bookmans). The space has exposed brick and an industrial look with exposed ceilings that is reminiscent of the London Subway of the 1940s and will immediately bring the audience into the world the actors are creating.  There will be moving scaffolding that the actors can climb with a live band. We want to have the feel of an underground rock concert as the actors go back and forth between the escape of imagination and the bleak real world of war.

Thank you to our friends at Larsen Baker for sponsoring this production and unconventional performance space!
