David Cross: Worst Daddy in the World Tour w/ Sean Patton
2023-10-28 20:00 - 22:00 | Rialto Theatre, 318 E. Congress St., Tucson, AZ, 85701
Since its earliest days, comedian David Cross’ career was defined by two things: adoration by critics and disinterest by mainstream audiences. His stature in the alternative comedy world made him one of the subgenre’s brightest stars, seemingly ripe for breakout success for literally decades. Highly intelligent, brutally honest, and often confrontational, Cross never seemed to care too much about conventional success. To his apparent amusement, these potential breakout roles came and went without acceptance by the general public. Nevertheless, the size of the cult following that he earned from “Arrested Development” (Fox, 2003-06) and “Mr. Show with Bob and David” (HBO, 1995-98) eventually resembled conventional success in everything but name.

Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime artistic experience! Internationally renowned organist Cameron Carpenter creates a glorious sonic environment that follows every frame and every image of the 1927 science fiction, silent-film masterpiece METROPOLIS on the Fox’s Mighty Wurlitzer organ.
Step inside Tucson’s own art-deco picture palace, where you’ll witness a breathtakingly realized vision of a dystopian art deco future as Carpenter’s stunning original music highlights the emotions, heightens the drama, and floods the iconic black-and-white images with the breath of the Mighty Wurlitzer organ.
Cameron Carpenter is the world’s most visible organist, the first ever to be nominated for a GRAMMY Award for a solo album. He holds the 2012 Leonard Bernstein Award, and in 2014, launched his International Touring Organ (ITO)- a first-of-its kind digital organ built to his own design. He is a virtuoso composer/performer who is smashing the stereotypes of organ and classical music. Cameron’s latest album, recorded at the Berlin Konzerthaus includes his own rendition of Bach’s Goldberg Variations as well as Hanson’s Symphony #2, and was released by Universal / DECCA in the fall of 2021. One of his previous releases, ‘All You Need is Bach’ debuted at #1 on the traditional classical charts.

I have always loved art, so while growing up I took all the art classes that were offered in school. I was drawn to art beyond being content to just appreciate it, but during my working career making time for art seemed a luxury to be put on hold for the future. Somehow I found jewelry making and fell in love with it. It enabled me to work with color, design, and texture, it was a great stress-reliever, an outlet for my creativity, and it nurtured my soul. When I became a member of an artists’ co-op in Colorado Springs, I was constantly admiring the work created by the glass artists there, and one day one of them offered to teach me how to fuse glass. I was hooked. Creating fused glass art has taught me to appreciate all art even more than I did before. It is always a learning experience. But when everything goes right, the end result brings me joy and nurtures my soul, as I always hope it will for those who see my art. Learning, enjoying and creating art is an ongoing journey. Each new piece guides its own design and helps me grow as an artist. I love it.
