Tom Green
If you are looking for a night full of laughs, there is one place to be on April 6: The Rialto Theatre.
Tom Green, a famous actor and comedian, will be coming to sunny Tucson on his Stand Up Comedy Tour. He is most known for his show, “The Tom Green Show,” but some may know him because of his short marriage to Drew Barrymore and appearance in “Charlie’s Angels.”
Tickets for his show range from $24-$32 and can be bought through The Rialto’s website. The show begins at 8 p.m. and all ages are welcome.
Talk With Holocaust Survivor
Leslie Schwartz was a teenager during one of the most devastating genocides in history, but he survived and he is sharing his story with all who are interested.
On April 5, Schwartz will be at the Jewish Community Center sharing his story of his time in Auschwitz, Dachau and Mühldorf. He will also be showing a 45-minute film titled “The Mühldorf Death Train.” Schwartz spends his time hoping to educate and uplift people through his story.
His talk begins at 6 p.m. and is free to the public.
Evita
If you have ever hoped to see “Don’t Cry for Me, Argentina” performed live, you now have the chance to.

Eat, drink and play games. This is what Dave & Buster’s is here for.
A new location will be opening April 3 in the Tucson Marketplace and is a great place to let off some steam. With a variety of games, groups of people can challenge themselves or each other. Besides a variety of electronic games, people can play billards, go bowling or test their moves on “Dance Dance Revolution.” While you are taking a break from winning or losing, you can snack on a variety of foods while watching the biggest games of the season.
