THE ROGUE THEATRE PRESENTS All My Sons by Arthur Miller

noreply@blogger.com (TucsonStage.com) — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 12:27:22 +0000

THE ROGUE THEATRE PRESENTS

All My Sons

by Arthur Miller

Directed by Christopher Johnson · Music Direction by Russell Ronnebaum

October 30 – November 22, 2026

Arthur Miller’s modern tragedy comes to Tucson this fall. When a successful midwestern businessman and his family are drawn into the discovery that he sold defective aircraft engines to the military during the Second World War, the quiet of their backyard begins to crack. The play asks us to consider the dark underbelly of capitalism, and what we owe to a universe of people beyond our own front door.

Winner of the 1947 Tony Award and the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Play, All My Sons is the work that launched Miller’s career, ahead of Death of a Salesman and The Crucible. It is a story in which the past arrives, in Miller’s words, as “how the birds came home to roost,” and its questions about war profiteering and social complicity remain strikingly current.

Live Theatre Workshop Presents Black Comedy

noreply@blogger.com (TucsonStage.com) — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 08:30:03 +0000

PERFORMANCE ANNOUNCEMENT

Live Theatre Workshop Presents

Black Comedy

By Peter Shaffer | Directed by Stephen Frankenfield

October 30 – November 22, 2026 | Live Theatre Workshop, Tucson

When struggling artist Brindsley Miller “borrows” his neighbor’s elegant furniture to impress his fiancée’s father and a wealthy art collector, he thinks he’s staged the perfect evening. Then the power fails. What follows is a parade of colorful, duplicitous guests stumbling through a pitch-black room, while the audience sees every frantic whisper, flying chair and desperate attempt to hide the evidence in full light. Secrets collide, furniture shifts, and surprise visitors arrive at the worst possible moment. It’s fast, physical and gloriously upside down, where darkness shines brightest and disaster has never looked so funny.

Fox Tucson Theatre Two Shows Not to Miss

noreply@blogger.com (TucsonStage.com) — Tue, 27 Oct 2026 08:27:45 +0000

PERFORMANCE ANNOUNCEMENT

Two Shows Not to Miss at the Fox

Fox Tucson Theatre | 17 West Congress Street, Tucson, Arizona

Friday, November 13 and Thursday, November 19, 2026

The Fox Tucson Theatre welcomes two very different nights of entertainment this November: a laugh-out-loud comedy tour for moms and the friends who love them, and an immersive, time-traveling concert celebrating the music of the 1960s.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 13

#IMOMSOHARD

The Crashing Out Tour

Doors 6:30 p.m.

Show 7:30 p.m.

$44–$67, all in

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 19

The Sixties Show

Fine Vintages Series

Doors 6:30 p.m.

Show 7:30 p.m.

$41–$64, all in

#IMOMSOHARD: The Crashing Out Tour

#IMOMSOHARD began as a web series by best friends, comedians and moms Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley. Their honest, hilarious take on motherhood’s fears and failures drew nearly 300 million views and a community of millions of followers. It also led to sold-out tours, a podcast, a New York Times bestseller and a TV deal. Now on their fifth tour, their mission remains the same: to help moms feel better about the job they’re doing.

The Sixties Show

This isn’t nostalgia. Time travel is real. This award-winning Off-Broadway sensation from New York City is a high-energy, multimedia, immersive experience built around a live, note-for-note concert of 1960s hits, B-sides and deep album cuts.

Band members from The Who, The Rascals and John Fogerty’s band play only authentic vintage gear in genuine 1960s mod costumes, with no backing tracks. Time-travel effects, narration, archival audio, newsreel footage and a light show complete the experience. The Sixties Show is part of the Fox’s Fine Vintages Series.

Tickets and Information

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and both shows begin at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $44–$67 for #IMOMSOHARD and $41–$64 for The Sixties Show, all fees included. Purchase through the Fox Tucson Theatre Box Office at 520-547-3040 (Tuesday–Friday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m., and two hours before any ticketed event) or online at www.foxtucson.com.

About the production

On Halloween eve in 1938, a radio adaptation of H.G. Wells's The War of the Worlds convinced some listeners that Martians had landed. Scoundrel & Scamp brings that Golden Age of Radio spirit back to the stage, where audiences can watch a story told by voice and sound.

[Cast, creative team and format details — to confirm with the theatre. A 2023 Scoundrel & Scamp staging used a live on-stage sound artist, a roughly 60-minute run time and Howard Koch's script; add only if this year's production matches.]

The Scoundrel & Scamp Theatre is a Tucson company based at The Historic Y in the Fourth Avenue district, now in its tenth season. Its fall 2026 lineup also includes Seance! (October 29–31) and Fall 2026 education programs for young performers.

Chosen Family

An evening of true stories, live in Tucson

We have the family we’re born into and the one we assemble as we navigate through life. Ride or die is not about blood lines. Who’s always there when you need them – for belly laughs at 2 a.m., tears over diner coffee and pie, posting bail? Who makes up your chosen family?

Join F*ST! for an evening of real-life stories about exactly that, each one told live in 10–15 minutes by women and people of marginalized genders from our community.
