Saturday, we'll be taking a night off from shows, for a pretty exciting reason. The University of Arizona Men's Basketball Team is headed to the Final Four! With the game happening during our usual show times (and with 4th Avenue expected to be especially busy), we're hitting pause to let everyone enjoy the moment. Big shoutout to Coach Lloyd and the team we'll be cheering right along with Tucson!

But we've still got a great Friday night lined up with three hilarious shows. Join us for Unformatted, our indie improv showcase, where teams bring their own unique styles to the stage. We're especially excited to welcome Monocle from Unscrewed Theater as part of the lineup. We love this partnership with our sister theater, where every other month we send a team back and forth to perform on the other's stage. It's always a treat to connect with the hilarious comedy scene in our community.

We'll see you Friday! Enjoy the Final Four weekend! Bear Down!!

The Soapbox w/Sarah Fries
(Re)telling Tucson's Story
Friday night at 7:30pm

Sarah grew up moving between small Arizona towns before landing in the heart of Tucson's vibrant community scene, where she blends her passion for people, creativity, and a little bit of chaos ✨ By day, she's a data-driven problem solver, and by night and weekends, you'll find her working out in her home gym with her dog Frita, exploring Tucson's diverse food scene, supporting local causes, and building meaningful connections across the city 🌵 Along the way, she's collected a wide range of real-life moments, from the everyday to the unexpected, that occasionally turn into stories worth sharing 🎤

Everyone has a story to tell. Four short and personal stories from our special guest at 7:30pm will inspire Tucson's premier improv comedy team.
