Thu.-Sat. at 7:30 p.m., Sun. at 2 p.m.
ASL interpreters April 19 at 7:30 p.m.
Center for the Arts Black Box Theatre
tickets: $18 with discounts available

What happens to love when you die? What awaits you? What will you remember? If given the chance, would you come back?
Directed by Nikki Martinez, the lush and dreamlike play is a whimsical re-imagining of the ancient myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. After tragically dying on her wedding day, Eurydice enters a magical underworld, where she finds herself caught between love and family, memory and loss. Does she choose to return to the living or succumb to the dead?
The play is wonderfully strange and full of potent lyrical sound, arresting images and wholehearted humanity creating a fascinating experience that is as disorienting as it is alluring.

 
"EURYDICE is an investigation into what transcends mortality, and how memory shapes the way we love. Filled with strange magic, the audience can expect the unexpected."
            - Nikki Martinez, director

Arizona Repertory Theatre Presents an Evening of Fun and Entertainment with The Pajama Game

 

Directed by Danny Gurwin

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

              

TUCSON, AZ – The Pajama Game is a Tony Award–winning musical that tells the story of the Sleep-Tite Pajama Factory, where conditions are anything but tranquil.  Sparks fly between the new superintendent, Sid Sorokin, and the leader of the union grievance committee, Babe Williams.  Their rocky relationship comes to a head when the workers strike for a 7 ½ cent pay increase, causing a conflict between labor and management, as well as a battle of the sexes. Jealousy, intrigue, knife-throwing and romance combine to impress and entertain audiences of all ages. 

 

“The Pajama Game has a romantic and joyful look and feel, but it’s really filled with heartache,” explains director Danny Gurwin.  “Not to say it’s sad, by any means.  It’s the pining for love, happiness, equality, and fair wages that gives the show such a beautiful timelessness and urgency.  And the music is some the best we have from the end of the Golden Age.  I hope audiences can enjoy the show and hum along, but still watch a young polka-dotted America fight for all of the things we still strive to find today.”

 

See Tomorrow’s Stars Today bring a classic musical full of fun and entertainment to the stage at Arizona Repertory Theatre!

The Rogue Theatre presents a staged reading of "Endgame"

The Rogue Theatre

300 East University Boulevard, Tucson, AZ - 520-551-2053

"Nothing is funnier than unhappiness."     

--Endgame   

by Samuel Beckett 

           

 

On this Sunday afternoon, April 1 at 2:00 p.m. we're presenting a staged reading of Endgame by Samuel Beckett.

In many ways, this play is quite an interesting thematic bridge between Three Tall Women and our upcoming King Lear.

Endgame, originally written in French and translated into English by Beckett himself, is considered by many critics to be his greatest single work. Samuel Beckett was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969; his literary output of plays, novels, stories and poetry has earned him an uncontested place as one of the greatest writers of our time.

Several people who have come to the staged readings in our Ambruster Play-Reading Series have been surprised that a staged reading is a lot like seeing the actual play. The actors have scripts in hand and there's no set, but it's amazing how much of the play you can see and hear. And this play is definitely worth seeing and hearing.

Endgame is directed by Patty Gallagher and features Joe McGrath, Matt Bowdren, David Weynand, and Molly McKasson. Tickets are just $17.  

Join us on Sunday afternoon by calling the Rogue box office (520-551-2053) or you can always  buy tickets on-line with NO added fees.

Here's to a wonderful week!

Wide Screen Wednesdays

 

Join us for a series of films hand-picked by professors from the School of Theatre, Film & Television! Every film buff has a list of personal favorites – movies that have a special significance. Maybe it’s a film you loved as a kid, or one that resonates with you today. At each film screened this year, a faculty member will give an introduction that not only gives fascinating historical and artistic context, but also explains why they chose their particular film.

Bonus: each feature will be preceded by the presentation of a short film made by a student in our Bachelor of Fine Arts program!

 

JEREMIAH JOHNSON

Robert Redford stars as the title character, a mid-19th-century mountain man who learns to survive in the harsh wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. When he loses all that is dear to him, Johnson becomes a kind of “ghost warrior” who relentlessly pursues vengeance against the Crow Nation. One of the finest westerns of the 1970s , Jeremiah Johnson is a subtle, morally complex film that was shot in the stunning natural environments of Utah.

DO THE RIGHT THING

Spike Lee's breakout hit is one of the most controversial and important American films of the last few decades. Lee stars as Mookie, a pizza deliveryman in Brooklyn, who is caught in the middle of tensions between his Italian-American boss, Sal, and the African-American community that patronizes Sal's pizzeria. Dealing with questions of race relations, police violence, and tolerance,  Do The Right Thing is as timely and thought-provoking today as it was in 1989.
