What to Do, Where to Do It

Arizona Daily Wildcat

Calendar Girl hears from a Ground Zero reporter who knows about these things that the Modest Mouse show at Theatre Congress (125 E. Congress St.) tonight is where you need to be. 764-Hero and former Tucson band Carissa's Weird also play, beginning at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $6 in advance at Sound Addict Records or $7 at the door.

Art, art, art: Everywhere you look there's an opening. Today from 5 to 7 p.m. the Union Gallery hosts the opening reception for "Tucson Connection," the Annual Alumni Exhibition. Jo Andersen, Wayne Crandell, Konried Muench, Sheila Pitt and Monte Surrat are the featured artists in this show, which runs through Dec. 15. Call 621-6142 for gallery hours and more information. Also opening this week is "Blast," the 4th Annual Bachelor of Fine Art Senior Exhibition at the Joseph Gross Gallery, which features more artists than you can shake an easel at. Go see.

As with everything cool, Tucson gets Dias de Muertos about two weeks late. The full-length ballet , choreographed by Michael Uthoff, premiered in Phoenix on Nov. 1 (hence the name) and comes to Centennial Hall tomorrow and Saturday. Dias de Muertos tells a modern fable about heritage and remembrance and features the work of several Mexican artists. This Ballet Arizona production is part of the UApresents Arte Latino Americano series and was co-comissioned by UApresents, ASU Public Events, Ballet Arizona and the Flinn Foundation. Tickets are $26 and up, with a 50 percent discount if you flash your student ID. Performances are tomorrow at 8 p.m. and Saturday at 2 p.m.

While we're in an appropriately Latin mood, there's also a flamenco guitar concert tonight by Chris Burton Jacome and Celso Cano, presented by Camp Wildcat, El Charro Cafe and Toma Productions. What better way to add that benevolent benefactor feeling to a night of romantic flamenco than by supporting this concert; the proceeds benefit Camp Wildcat, an organization that works with Tucson's underprivileged youth. It all happens at 7 p.m. at Social Sciences 100. Call 621-7048 for more information.

Well, here we are, smack dab in the middle of the theater season. The Arizona Repertory Theatre's "The Kentucky Cycle," by Robert Schenkkan, continues at the Marroney Theatre. This second cycle of the play runs through Dec. 7; call 621-1162 for show times and ticket information. Or, for something lighter, you could try the Invisible Theatre's production of "It Had to Be You," a romantic comedy by Renee Taylor and Joseph Bologna. The play runs through Nov. 30 and tickets are $14 to $16. Invisible Theatre is located at 1400 N. First Ave.; call 882-9721 for more information.

Tom Collins (tmc@u.arizona.edu) describes them as "totally hippy-dippy" and he knows his hippies. The Samples play The Cage tonight with a band identified only as "special guests." Go for the surprise, stay for the hippies. Tickets are $12 in advance at Dillard's, $13 at The Cage on the day of show. Looks like about 8 p.m. for a start time.
