Acclaimed for beautiful shows filled with fantastic universes and agile performers, Cirque Du Soleil hits the mark again with “”Alegria.”” The show takes its title from the Spanish word for jubilation, and the performance is an energetic exploration of the passing of time and the celebration of youth.

Live Theatre Workshop presents: “”The Santaland Diaries and Season’s Greetings””
If you’re stuck in Tucson this Thanksgiving weekend and just can’t seem to get into the holiday spirit, don’t fight it. In fact, be a Scrooge and let your crotchety side get some satisfaction by attending the Live Theatre Workshop’s presentation of “”The Santaland Diaries and Season’s Greetings.”” These performances were adapted for the stage by Joe Montello, and taken from essays by critically acclaimed professional cynic, David Sedaris. The stories recount Sedaris’ ho-ho-horrible experiences working at Macy’s as an elf during the impossibly busy Christmas season.
