UNSCREWED THEATER

New Faces, Late-Night Laughs & Your Next Improv Class

Weekend of May 8–9, 2026  |  4500 E Speedway Blvd, Tucson, AZ

 

🌙  Friday, May 8 — Fridays After Dark

Start your weekend with the edgiest, wildest comedy show in town. This monthly invitational variety show blends improv, stand-up, sketch comedy, and more in one UNCENSORED evening. The best part? It's pay-what-you-will — both in-person and online.

 

🌙

Friday, May 8 at 9:00 PM

FRIDAYS AFTER DARK — UNCENSORED

 

Boundary-pushing comedy for night owls. Pay what you will, in person or stream online.

 

🎉  Saturday, May 9 — Big Debut Alert!

  Jan Moore Joins Not Burnt Out Just Unscrewed!

This is the improv equivalent of a season premiere — new energy, bold choices, and at least one

moment where someone accidentally becomes a talking toaster. (It happens. We support it.)

 

Jan has also bravely agreed to play in her first uncensored show that same evening. Her initiation

ritual is ready. Come witness history.

 

🎉

Saturday, May 9 at 7:30 PM

NBOJU: Family Friendly — Big Debut Alert!

 

 

🔥

Saturday, May 9 at 9:00 PM

NBOJU: UNCENSORED with More Jan!

 

🎭  Improv Basics Class

New class kicks off Wednesday at 6 PM — enrollment is open! No experience needed. Just bring your sense of humor and a willingness to say 'yes, and…'

 

SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE

 

Visit unscrewedtheater.com to enroll

 

🎤  Level Up: Scene Workshop

Mark your calendar for May 17 — a special workshop led by LA-based guest instructor Rich Baker, focused on building stronger, more connected scenes.

 

📅  Saturday, May 17

 

You'll look like a genius on stage — even when making it all up.

From the audience to the stage — even if you end up as a surprisingly emotional toaster — you've got a place here.

Come laugh with us this weekend.  |  unscrewedtheater.com  |  Tickets at the door or online

We’re Back!

It’s been a while… and we’ve genuinely missed you.

Winding Road Theatre is back this May with Eight 10s in Tucson, our annual festival of eight original ten-minute plays, all brought together in one fast, surprising, and deeply human evening of theatre. Each piece offers something different, funny, bold, unexpected, sometimes a little strange, and together they create a night that moves quickly and lingers long after the lights come up.

This year feels especially meaningful as we return in collaboration with Live Theatre Workshop, Scoundrel & Scamp, and Pima Community College Theatre Arts, a coming-together of Tucson’s creative community to support new work and new voices.

Join us May 21–24 at Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre and be part of this celebration of storytelling, connection, and what happens when artists take risks.

Learn more about Eight 10s

Thank you for sticking with us through this season of pause and transition. Your support is the reason we’re able to return and to keep building what comes next.

And we are building. Our 2026 - 2027 season is on the horizon, with expanded programming, new collaborations, and more ways to gather, experience, and connect.

We’re back! Come be a part of it...

The Road Ahead Is Ours.
