A Musical, Cinematic Journey

About this event

Step into a living time machine, with some late-October spooky flair! This immersive school show transports your students back to the early 1900s, offering a vividly entertaining window into the eras of urbanization, the Great Depression, and World War II. Through a combination of carefully curated (and suitably spooky) comedy film clips, cartoons, historic photos, and newsreel footage, history is transformed from a textbook lesson into a vivid, shared journey—one where students get to see how Tucson kids just like them experienced these historic milestones. Your time machine will be the historic Fox Tucson Theatre! Before TV and streaming, theatres like the Fox were where people came to watch world events. Before recorded music and amplification, such theatres provided a live soundtrack on the built-in theatre organ. Students will experience this firsthand, with acclaimed organist Brett Valliant bringing the screen to life with his live, musical accompaniment on the Fox’s mind-blowing Mighty Wurlitzer Theatre Organ. This is an immersive voyage through time, connecting local heritage with global history.
