"Sarah Kriehn: Encounters" Practical Art Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., August 1 until Sun., August 31 Central Phoenix
They say that those who can’t do, teach. Local artist Sarah Kriehn couldn’t disagree more. She taught elementary art for over 20 years, then retired and started a solo printmaking career. According to Kriehn, it’s not that teachers aren’t talented. The problem is that they... More >>
Anita Nall Richesson: "Life After Olympic Gold" Chandler Public Library Thu., August 28, 11:30am Chandler
What will life be like for Olympic swimming sensation Michael Phelps after Beijing? Cheers and parades? His face on a Wheaties box? If his predecessor and former swimming buddy, three-time Olympic medalist and former teen phenom Nadia “Anita” Nall, is any indication, he’ll have a... More >>
Lavay Smith and Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers Wrigley Mansion Thu., August 28, 8:00pm East Phoenix
But for being born white, San Francisco chanteuse Lavay Smith might be the latter-day Billie Holiday. Smith has Lady Day’s throaty purr, though it might be more appropriate to say that Smith has Holiday’s purr down. Smith, see, is a natural-born self-promoter whose business is... More >>
“Midstream: New Ceramics From the Heartland” ASU Art Museum Ceramics Research Center Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Sat., August 23 until Sat., February 28, 11:00am-5:00pm Tempe
Ceramicists always wonder why they’re left in the dust while painters and sculptors get the glory. Let’s face it, clay boy, no one’s gonna care about your pot unless they can smoke it. Maybe that’s why Midwestern artists Teri Frame, Alex Hibbitt, and Liz Zacher decided to... More >>
“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Exhibition” Arizona Science Center Daily from Sat., June 7 until Sun., October 26, 10:00am-5:00pm Central Phoenix
We're pretty sure that the prototypical fantasy geek and Christian apologist C.S. Lewis never imagined that his acclaimed children's series The Chronicles of Narnia would spawn something as scary-sounding as an "immersive marketing experience." So trust it to late capitalism to concoct such a... More >>
Dearly Departed Chyro Arts Venue Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., August 21 until Sat., September 6, 8:00pm South Scottsdale
Reading the press release for Dearly Departed, a play in the first week of its run at Chyro Arts Venue, comparisons to William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying are inevitable. However, instead of hicks transporting a corpse in a pine-box coffin, the David Bottrell/Jesse Jones comedy follows the... More >>
The Rocky Horror Show presented by Nearly Naked Theatre Phoenix Theatre's Little Theatre Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., August 15 until Sat., September 13 Central Phoenix
There’s a lyric from one of the Richard O’Brien tunes in his intergalactically famous The Rocky Horror Show that goes, “It was great when it all began/I was a regular Frankie fan.” It’s a lyric that has proven more true than the then-starving young playwright could have... More >>
Arizona Duck (DUKW) Tour Pleasant Harbor Marina at Lake Pleasant Daily, 10:00am
more dates/times 		Peoria
Military intelligence, as the old saw goes, is an oxymoron. But the dudes in khaki got it right when they introduced the odd amphibious vehicle called the DUKW during WWII. The bastard spawn of a U-boat and a Hummer helped American troops survive beach attacks like Normandy by transporting... More >>
AZ Dodgeball Arizona Army National Guard Armory Every week Tuesday, Thursday from Thu., June 26 until Tue., September 2, 6:30pm East Phoenix
I solemnly swear not to mention Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story during the writing of this piece. Starting . . . now. When describing an adult-dodgeball affair, it’s de rigueur to reference the 2004 flick. I mean, come on. But if AZ Dodgeball founder Sam Pewitt wants to play coy (the... More >>
"Branded and on Display" Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., June 14 until Sun., September 21 Central Scottsdale
It’s gotten so we don’t even see them, the carefully placed product endorsements that are part of everyday life. On an episode of American Idol, Simon Cowell raises to his lips a monstrous neon tumbler emblazoned with the Coca-Cola logo, and what we see is a man taking a drink. Our... More >>
Busty Boobs & Thong Contest Margarita Rocks Every week Thursday, 9:00pm Tempe
If we had the self-awareness 18 years ago that we have now, we would have dropped more blouses at wet T-shirt contests. Alas, we were young and foolish, and had no real inkling of the limited shelf life of perky hooters. Life may be over for us, but still-bouncy ladies have a chance to get it... More >>
Castles -n- Coasters Summer Fun Days Castles -n- Coasters Daily from Thu., July 3 until Mon., September 1 North Phoenix
The Castles -n- Coasters Summer Fun Days promotion is a smoking deal -- if you don’t spontaneously combust. We’re just tossin’ out a caveat emptor, ’cause you should know up front that your $15 buys unlimited rides on the theme park’s attractions, plus a free round of... More >>
"Feathered Dinosaurs and the Origins of Flight" Arizona Museum of Natural History Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from Tue., July 8 until Sun., September 28, 10:00am-5:00pm
more dates/times 		Mesa
Gigantic, pissed-off chickens with teeth. That’s the impression created by the imposing models on display in the “Feathered Dinosaurs and the Origins of Flight” exhibit. After you check out these dentally impressive fowl, run for your life to Arizona Science Center and marvel at... More >>
Frank Caliendo Tempe Improv Thu., August 28, 8:00pm
more dates/times 		Tempe
Among comedy geeks, Frank Caliendo is a divider like no other. First off, he’s an impressionist, and not since the halcyon days of Rich Little-as-George Burns has the skill been comparatively viable to, say, humorous hypnotism or ventriloquism. Second, his interpretations of Dubya, John... More >>
“Human & Animal Grossology” Arizona Science Center Daily from Sat., May 24 until Mon., September 1 Central Phoenix
A friend of ours freaks out when he realizes the molecules he's inhaling have been inside our lungs, too. You other wusses better check out “Human & Animal Grossology” at Arizona Science Center beginning Saturday, May 24, and get desensitized to all the emissions and secretions of us... More >>
Kollectiv Art and Design Group Show Kollectiv Art and Design Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., August 1 until Sun., August 31 Central Phoenix
You grew up in a fascist household where creativity wasn’t encouraged. At age 2, when you drew an abstract version of your dog, your parents took note of its asymmetry and shook their heads critically. They couldn’t tolerate anything but pure genius, and if that wasn’t... More >>
"Local Produce" Lisa Sette Gallery Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., July 10 until Sat., September 27 Central Scottsdale
You buy your books from Amazon.com and your housewares from IKEA, and you only grant foreigners and their charming accents passage rights to your uterus. What’s wrong with you? Haven’t you ever heard about giving back to the community, about appreciating and encouraging local... More >>
Night Gallery Tempe Marketplace Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 6:00pm-9:00pm Tempe
Commodification of art is nothing new (we especially like those Hello Kitty vibrators), but a respectable art gallery slumming in a mall is right up there with Walmarts on sacred burial grounds, even if it’s exactly the kind of "social embeddedness" that Joe Baker, ASU's Director of... More >>
"No Snow on the Broken Bridge: Video Work by Yang Fudong" Phoenix Art Museum Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Tue., July 8 until Sun., September 14 Central Phoenix
Phoenix Art Museum has always had a thing for Asian art. Its permanent collection of Chinese, Japanese, and Southeast Asian artworks is not only massive, but also well-regarded. The "No Snow on the Broken Bridge: Video Work by Yang Fudong" exhibit is another amazing gem in PAM’s new series... More >>
"NOW: Selections From the Ovitz Family Collection" ASU Art Museum at Nelson Fine Arts Center Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., June 7 until Sun., September 28 Tempe
Onetime Hollywood strongman Michael Ovitz used to make news for all the wrong reasons: voicing paranoiac slurs about the “gay mafia,” causing schisms in the Mickey Mouse fantasy factory during his star-crossed Disney stint, and manhandling the help as documented in Suzanne... More >>
Phoenix Mercury vs. San Antonio Silver Stars U.S. Airways Center Thu., August 28, 7:00pm Central Phoenix
Missed the Phoenix Mercury during the Olympic break? Jonesing for some women's basketball on account of all of that sweet balling in Beijing? Then you can totally score when the Mercury hosts the San Antonio Silver Stars at U.S. Airways Center in the Merc's first home game after the Olympics. More >>
Salt River Tubing & Recreation Salt River Tubing & Recreation Daily from Sat., May 3 until Tue., September 30, 9:00am-7:00pm Mesa
Rednecks tend to be attracted to large bodies of water. Don’t believe us? How else to explain the “Redneck Riviera” spanning the area from Mobile, Alabama, to the Emerald Coast near Apalachicola, Florida? Though we live in the desert, that doesn’t mean our state is running... More >>
Summer Flashlight Tour Desert Botanical Garden Every week Thursday, Saturday from Thu., May 1 until Sat., August 30, 7:00pm-9:00pm East Phoenix
Bust out your capes and fangs. It’s vampire time, baby. No, we’re not talking about Halloween or some teenage goth event. We're speaking of the transformation every Phoenician goes through during the summer months. We avoid the sun, socialize in the evening hours, and sleep during the... More >>
Tempe Paintball Half-Price Field Fee Play Tempe Paintball Every week Tuesday, Thursday from Tue., July 1 until Tue., September 16 Tempe
Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori. It is sweet and fitting to die for one's country, said Roman poet Horace. However, if you’re more comfortable watching Stripes than enlisting, you might try Tempe Paintball as the remedy for your bloodlust. Every Thursday and Tuesday from noon to 9... More >>
"Underworlderness" Heard Museum Daily from Fri., June 6 until Sun., August 31, 9:30am-5:00pm
more dates/times 		Central Phoenix
According to legend, the Diné (Navajo) underworld was a supercool place to live for the Holy People. The weather was perfect, food grew in loads, and the staples of Navajo art – such as rug weaving, silversmithing, and basketry – were cultivated and honed. In his... More >>
