"Moderation! I am against it!" Before Rachael Ray, Gordon Ramsay and even Julia Child, there was James Beard - America's first TV chef and namesake of the coveted culinary prize. In this tasty one-man comedy, Beard welcomes us into his Greenwich Village kitchen where he cooks, gossips, sings, fights loneliness and reenacts some of the wilder moments from his ground- breaking television show that aired from
August 1946 to May 1947.
I LOVE TO EAT is the cooking lesson of a lifetime - it attempts to share the food lover's zest for life and his complicated biographical story. James Beard is still a household name – after all, the James Beard Awards are thought of as the Oscars of the restaurant world. Above all, he reminds us that time spent in the kitchen should be fun.
"A truly fun and fabulous evening ..."

Cirque Inextremiste: EXIT
September 9, 2023
See a thrilling adventure unfold on the University Mall featuring tightrope walking and extreme acrobatics with Cirque Inextremiste: EXIT. Set on the UA Mall, this is the story of a group of asylum patients on their quest to free themselves at all costs. What ensues is a hilarious spectacle featuring a high-flying hot air balloon and never-before-seen balancing acts on a vertical stage you must see to believe.
Extreme acrobatic collective Cirque Inextremiste plays with our fears and wreaks havoc with our perspective in their latest production, EXIT. Watch as a hot-air balloon tamer, musicians, and other surprise characters slowly disrupt the performance and derail this feat of engineering. As the story unfolds, performers take over a hot-air balloon to create daring balancing acts and extreme acrobatics, all while several stories in the air.
Cirque Inextremiste retains its signature quirkiness, remaining clownish and extravagant while continuing to defy the laws of gravity and push back the boundaries of the circus arts, theatre, and stunt work. Step into a world of madness and escape with this powerful performance as we follow the dreams of a group of unlikely heroes. EXIT is free to attend and will be presented on the east end of the Mall at the University of Arizona main campus in Tucson, AZ.

Video quality does not have to be professional (cell phone is fine), but the interviewee has to have good presence and something interesting to say. Each video selected will receive a $25 honorarium. Releases from the interviewees need to be submitted for the selected videos.
