| The Axe in the Attic Space 55 Theatre |
Sat., September 6, 7:00pm more dates/times |
Central Phoenix | |
 While Hurricane Katrina was wreaking havoc in New Orleans on August 29, 2005, President Bush was in Phoenix, posing for a photo-op, cake in hand, with birthday boy Senator John McCain. That lack of priority was only the beginning of the government’s failure.
For filmmakers Ed Pincus and... More >> |

| ASU Football vs. Stanford Sun Devil Stadium | Sat., September 6, 7:00pm | Tempe | |
 Kudos to the Pac-10 conference for scheduling meaningful division games in August and September, including last week's Oregon State-Stanford tilt and a bitter-rivalry contest between Oregon and Washington. What do you have to say to that, Texas Tech (Eastern Washington, at Nevada, SMU, UMass)... More >> |

| Digital Summer Marquee Theatre | Sat., September 6, 6:00pm | Tempe | |
 Local hard rockers Digital Summer are one of the few local bands that can book a headlining gig at the spacious Marquee Theatre in Tempe and actually sell it out. The band’s slick shtick of mid-to-late ‘90s hard-edged radio rock (a la Staind and Linkin Park) has garnered them hordes... More >> |

| Shake! feat. Mad Juana, Thee Unfortunates, & more The Rogue Bar | Sat., September 6, 8:00pm | South Scottsdale | |
 Mad Juana’s MySpace page boasts, “Imagine Django Reinhardt and Patti Smith fronting the Velvet Underground in a Bourbon Street dive, and the exotic soulfulness and inflamed passion rises like a possessed voodoo spirit.” Yeah, well, that’s kind of true, but let’s break... More >> |

 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 >> |

| 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 >> |

| "One for All, and All for One: The Jumpsuit" Phoenix Art Museum | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., September 6 until Sun., February 1 | Central Phoenix | |
 Oprah. Elvis. Charlie’s Angels. Prison inmates. Fashion victims all, thanks to the jumpsuit. We’d tease and taunt these dinos and ne’er-do-wells, but, God help us, the vexing garment seems to be making a comeback.
Rihanna was recently seen wearing a floral-print number. Maggie... More >> |

| "Tokyo Atelier: New Horizons in Japanese Woodblock Printing" Lords of Art Town Studio and Gallery | Sat., September 6, 1:00pm-5:00pm | Central Phoenix | |
 Ask any nerd piss-ant what he knows about Japan and he’ll probably blather on about manga, the island nation’s sadistic game shows, or those Tokyo vending machines that specialize in used celebrity underwear. We don’t deny that a lot of strange things emanate from that cooped-up... 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 >> |

| Los Illegals John Paul Theatre |
Sat., September 6, 8:00pm more dates/times |
Central Phoenix | |
 A local day-labor center is about to close, bowing to the pressures of anti-immigration advocates. The immigrants who rely on the center for their crummy incomes fight to keep the facility open. When one of the workers gets arrested, all hell breaks loose.
Sound plausible? Los Illegals is a... More >> |

| The All Night Strut! Playhouse on the Park |
Sat., September 6, 8:00pm more dates/times |
Central Phoenix | |
 The economy blows. There are foreclosures on every block, big-name chains are filing for bankruptcy, and a tank of gas costs more than a week’s worth of groceries. Hell, even local art galleries and theaters are downsizing just to stay afloat. When faced with rising costs, Phoenix’s... 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 >> |

| Arizona Lowrider Super Show Phoenix Convention Center |
Sat., September 6, 6:00pm-1:00am more dates/times |
Central Phoenix | |
 In 1963, SoCal native Johnny Lozoya was 10 and enthralled watching low-slung, growling machines called lowriders pace his neighborhood streets. As he tells New Times, “They were definitely not my parents’ four-door family sedan.”
In 1979, Lozoya organized the first Lowrider... 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 >> |

| "Legally Happy" Olney Gallery | Daily from Tue., September 2 until Tue., September 30 | Central Phoenix | |
 As children, we’re filled with creativity. Then real life drowns the butterflies and rainbows in a festering sea of debt, responsibilities, and mind-numbing labor. Some adults choose to deal by popping pills or shooting smack. Siberian artist Natasha Matveenkova has sidestepped the... 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 >> |
