Even though Tucson Pride shifted their official weekend to the spring, we're still keeping the rainbow energy going at the theater with our own mini Pride celebration! We have several shows this weekend LGBTQ+ themed, and we hope you come out for a gay old time! We'll be donating a portion of all show ticket profits to Tucson Pride, so every laugh you share also gives back.  It's going to be a fun weekend of comedy love, so please help spread the word and bring your friends. The more the merrier, and the more we can donate.

• Friday
• The Jam – Come play!
• The Comedy Kiki – Our queer variety show featuring stand-up and improv, a super fun night featuring comedians from across Tucson.
• Saturday

• A Big Wet Throbbing Queer Comedy Show🏳‍🌈🍑🍆💧🐥 – Our flagship Queer show featuring LGBTQ+ performers from our company!

A quick heads-up: we will be closed on Black Friday as per our tradition, we love to give our cast and crew time to recover from pie-related choices.

Auditions are back on the horizon for December 7th! We'll have the sign-up form available very soon on the website. If you've been thinking about jumping into the TIM community as a performer, this is your moment.

Uncovering a Forgotten Chapter of U.S. History

 

Copper Children

by Karen Zacarias

Directed by Clarrissa Rodriguez

________________________________________________________

 

Your opinion counts! We're offering a public reading of

Copper Children so you can help us decide if we should

include this play as part of our next season.

________________________________________________________

 

The Copper Children tells the true story of Irish immigrant orphans sent from New York to Arizona to be adopted by Mexican America mining families, only to be taken away due to racial prejudice.

 

Blending humor, tragedy, and sharp social commentary, the play explores the collision of good intentions and injustice in one of the largest kidnapping cases in U.S. history.

Up Next: Murder Mystery Dinner Theater

 

 

 

 

 

Borderlands Theater is thrilled to present the premiere of

Blame of Thrones, a wildly inventive Chicano parody of Game of Thrones —served with a full three-course feast and a side of absolute chaos.

 

Created by our very own Jonathan Heras, this immersive murder-mystery dinner brings audiences straight into the heart of South Westeros, where neighborhood rivalries, royal scandals, and telenovela-level betrayals sizzle louder than the kitchen.

 

The king is dead (again). The wine is poisoned (maybe). And every house—from the Orovallians to the Winterhavens to the fierce Wildthings of Three Points—is scheming for the throne.

 

Expect big personalities, locuras, and musical numbers so hilariously inappropriate you'll choke on your dessert.

 

This fully interactive experience puts you right in the middle of the action:

 

·    A three-course royal dinner (brought to you by Little Mexico)

·    A murder mystery where you might be the suspect

·    Improvised comedy, chisme, and local Tucson shade

·    A working set of stocks — someone's getting locked up

·    '90s oldies–style musical numbers (yes, really)

 

If you love parodies, telenovelas, chicano humor, absurd comedy, or just a good meal with a side of murder, this show is for you.

 

Tickets are extremely limited and will disappear faster than a royal heir in South Westeros.

 

January 29, 2026 – February 1, 2026
(Thursday - Sunday)

all shows begin at 7pm

 

$69.99 General Admission

200 E Yavapai Rd, Tucson, AZ 85705

Don't miss the most fun you'll ever have at a murder scene.

 

Reserve your seat now and prepare for betrayal, chisme, and a feast fit for a king—whether he survives the night or not.
