Lucinda Williams Plays the Non-Hits at Mesa Arts Center
Victor PalaganoLucinda Williams on stage at Mesa Arts Center.It takes some hutzpah to read your lyrics off a music stand. When you've been dubbed "Americas Greatest Songwriter" by Time magazine (a publication that's not known for it's music criticism, but nonetheless notable in any grand pronouncement) you get such latitude without question though, as country singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams showed at Mesa Arts Center last night. Wearing red jeans and lace-down black black blouse and sp

November 16, 2006Curtains: Southwest Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale at Mesa Arts Center
By Julie Peterson Mary Riley and Richard Baird in The Winter's Tale. Photo by Laura Durant, graphic enhancements by Southwest Shakespeare Co. Watching a play by William Shakespeare can be like watching a biopic (or, for that matter, like trying to get on an O.J. Simpson jury) -- you already know what happened, and you can't unknow it. Even if you attempt my strategy, which was to choose a play I'd never read or seen, most companies helpfully spoil you with a synopsis in the playbill.
December 3, 2008Concert Calendar for This Weekend: Celine Dion, David Banner, The Hanson Brothers, Wu-Tang Clan, and more
DJ Deadmau5 is scheduled to spin tonight at Myst in Scottsdale. While we're sure most of you are gonna be heading out west to the Cricket Pavillion to check out tonight's mega-sized Phooson shindig, there's more than just that concert going on this weekend. Here's our weekly rundown of the weekend's major music events. Be sure to click the links for ticket availability.
December 5, 2008Curtains: Dixie's Tupperware Party at Mesa Arts Center
Say it out loud, hookers: "Dixie Longate." Mmmm, they sure do. Photo by Bradford Rogne. Hey, it's another one-person off-Broadway touring show that features a lot of audience interaction. This trend is probably a good thing, with all these big expensive new Valley venues to fill up with stuff. So the late Spalding Gray these people ain't -- they're still interesting new writer/performers who demonstrate to audiences and presenters alike that not every slot needs to be filled wit
January 21, 2009Concert Calendar for This Weekend: Jordin Sparks, Digital Summer, Nappy Roots, The Game, and More
The Nappy Roots are scheduled to perform on Friday at Club Red in Tempe. Now that the chill of winter is starting to subside (temps are supposed to get into the high 70s) you've got little excuse to stay cooped up inside your domicile this weekend. Why not book it to the ongoing Renaissance Festival, or perhaps take a splendid moonlight hike? Better yet, spend your weekend checking out any of the numerous concerts and music scheduled to happen tonight through Sunday. Practically every major

March 12, 2009Art Burn: Queen's Pizza Not "Fitting In" Boring Mesa
It didn't take Forbes magazine's list of most boring big cities to convince us that Mesa is one sleepy little 'burb when it comes to arts and culture. Sure, there's the state-of-the-art Mesa Arts Center, but outside of that, the town's pretty much a chain store infested, super kid-friendly wonderland of tract houses, parks, playgrounds and churches. Not exactly the kind of place you'd expect to find an chic urban restaurant or a local indie art gallery. Color us surprised,

Carol Rosegg Doug Thompson, Jenny Gulley and Jamie Jackson: Three actors who are not cast members of the tour that's stopping here. But you get the idea.Kansas City-based Theater League presents in just seven U.S. cities, so it's always felt kind of like Phoenix's own little Shubert Organization. Although TL does produce shows itself, its Passport to Broadway series snags national road companies of hot musicals from the tour producers (for example, the sparkling Mamma Mia! that played a r

Case in point: If you weren't able to get into last year's sold out appearance by the Swell Season at the Orpheum, you've got another shot. The Oscar-winning duo of Irish guitarist Glen Hansard and Czech songstress/pianist Markéta Irglová (who starred in the 2007 indie flick Once) will visit the Mesa Arts Center on Tuesday, November 17, in su

(A mural which I, personally, liked the idea of, though unlike Lilia I am not a trained student of visual art with a degree in the subject.) Instead, we have a new m
November 10, 2009Curtains: M*A*S*H's William Christopher in Church Basement Ladies at Mesa Arts Center
courtesy of Troupe America, Inc.While this isn't the star-studded cast you'll see at Mesa Arts Center, this is a good sample of the cuteness that goes on in Church Basement Ladies.Last summer, I took advantage of time alone in a friend's lovely Seattle home to curl up and read several books from his home library, including Jennifer Michael Hecht's The Happiness Myth. It looks at how modern life stresses and drains us and identifies five tried-and-true historic aspects of human behavior that c

Food Network star Guy Fieri is taking his show -- and his rock and roll attitude -- on the road with The Guy Fieri Road Show, a 21-city tour that combines Guy's love of music and his passion for food. The tour will hit the Mesa Arts Center on Friday, December 18, with tickets ranging from $38-248. "My shows have never been normal," Guy said in a phone call on the way to the tour's first stop in New England. "One of the things I'm jonesing for is music. So
