Blind Summit Theatre presents The Sex Lives of Puppets

Blind Summit Theatre: The Sex Lives of Puppets

by Mark Down and Ben Keaton

February 25, 2026 - February 28, 2026

Tickets and info: https://arizonaartslive.com/the-sex-lives-of-puppets

Laugh, reflect, and rediscover the importance of intimacy and curiosity in a uniquely bold performance of the Sex Lives of Puppets. With humor and tenderness, Blind Summit Theatre: The Sex Lives of Puppets opens up about topics we often keep quiet.

“This is the good stuff–technique, strong writing, and a bit of heart and soul.”
– The New York Times

The Sex Lives of Puppets pulls back the covers on puppet sex in contemporary Britain: filthy, funny, shocking, and touching… lots of touching. Inspired by real stories from the National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles, this clever show creates a safe space to get down and dirty and talk about the rude stuff, the stuff that matters. Not so much “birds and bees”, more “nuts and bolts”.

The Sex Life of Puppets is a multi-layered piece of theatre. On the surface, offering a fun and frank exploration of puppet desire at the hands of their Dionysian puppet-masters, and on a deeper level, engaging skilled puppetry to express human moods, fears, worries, hang-ups, and desires that will immediately resonate with audiences. Presented in Marroney Theatre.

1025 N Olive Rd, Tucson, AZ 85721

Located in: The University of Arizona

theatre.arizona.edu

This production contains sexual content, sexual images, and strong language. It is recommended for ages 18+.

Oro Valley Theatre Company's February "Funny" Valentine Show is Neil Simon's "Last of the Red Hot Lovers", which originally opened on Broadway in 1969, starring James Coco. You won't want to miss the revival of this hysterical comedy. Barney Cashman, a married middle-aged owner of a fancy fish restaurant in Manhattan. He has but one desire, to step out of his bland, routine life and "just one time," give in to his secret fantasies. ".to know what it is like with another woman." To change the pattern of his life and for once "...not just exist, but live." Get ready to laugh out loud as Barney navigates his way throughout the "Summer of Love," attempting to seduce three modern women in his mother's apartment. Delightfully hilarious and witty, Last of the Red Hot Lovers is a genuinely brilliant play. There's no one like Neil Simon when it comes to "tickling your funny bone" with hysterical comedy, laced with creativity, wisdom, and insight.

Exclusive VIP Reception - 6:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.

Movie Premiere 7:00 p.m. (Doors open at 6:45)

Proscenium Theater on the campus of Pima Community College West (2202 W Anklam)

 

Kate Hugo: Murder After Mayhem is a female-led whodunit set in a post-cataclysmic world where grief lingers and the dead whisper. Without the benefit of modern technology, Kate and the local Sheriff—each wounded and wary—must untangle lies, solve a brutal murder, and confront their own losses. As suspicion fades, healing begins. Think 'Knives Out' meets 'The Book of Eli' with echoes of 'The Sixth Sense.'

 

This film was created right here in Southern Arizona, showcasing the incredible talent of our local cast and crew. It's a true grassroots production—written, directed, and brought to life by our community.

 

Let's fill the theater and prove that Tucson is ready to shine on the big screen again. Your presence makes a statement: Hollywood isn't the only place where great movies are made!

The One Good Thing or

"Are Ya Patrick Swayze?"

by Joe Bravaco

 

Staged Reading

February 13th & 14th at 7:00pm

 

Jamie and Tommy, two brothers who share a cottage on the Cliffs of the Irish Sea. One morning Jamie makes an astonishing declaration. He announces that he is dead - and now a ghost. Tommy, naturally, is unconvinced and maintains that his brother's delusion is caused by the grief Jamie has suffered since their mother's death. With pathos and gentle humor, the brothers explore a trail of unexpressed love, grief, guilt, and forgiveness, and within everyday events and their nostalgic memories, which are as ordinary as all our memories, they discover the eternal exists in their fraternal bond.
