David Cross - The End of The Beginning of The End
2024-09-22 19:00 - 21:00 | The Van Buren, 401 W Van Buren St, Phoenix, AZ, 85003
David Cross – The End of The Beginning of The End Tour
with Special Guest Sean Patton
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.

Sunset Boulevard (1950) movie screening
2024-07-27 19:30 - 21:30 | Fox Tucson Theatre, 17 West Congress Street, Tucson, AZ, 85701
Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond, an aging silent film queen, and William Holden as the struggling writer who is held in thrall by her madness, created two of the screen’s most memorable characters in Sunset Boulevard (1950). Winner of three Academy Awards, director Billy Wilder’s orchestration of the bizarre tale is a true cinematic classic. From the unforgettable opening sequence through the inevitable unfolding of tragic destiny, the film is the definitive statement on the dark and desperate side of Hollywood. Erich von Stroheim as Desmond’s discoverer, ex-husband and butler, and Nancy Olson as the bright spot in unrelenting ominousness, are equally celebrated for their masterful performances.

Visitors may operate the trains and accessories throughout the museum by pushing buttons located with the displays, all at tabletop level to give visitors a better view of all trains.
We even have model trains running outdoors, a real caboose that you can walk through, and a 7.5″ gauge ride-on train (which runs if the weather is ok.)
Hours
