UrbanAZ’s Celebrity Theatre programming features the funk, soul, rap, and old school we all need, and it’s also crazy fun, positive and uplifting in vibe, and sooooo sexy. (The periodic visits by glistening, chiseled male dancers never get old.) These promoters are the coolest at mixing up tasty performance combos — poetry, for example, takes an honored place alongside music and comedy. Next up, Saturday, May 18, is Neo Soul & Spoken Word Showcase.
You’ll spark and luxuriate under the oral stylings of Jessica Holter of Punany Poets, Karolina Breeze, Jeary Sylves, Truth B. Told, Wisdom Soul, and more. Music comes from indie R&B artist Bilal, whose recent A Love Supreme dropped at number one on iTunes, and Detroit soul musician and producer Dwele.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
