Best Local Dance Production

Orts in The Park

READERS' PICK: Like the monsoon rains or the blooming of the saguaro cactus, Orts in The Park is something special reserved for Tucsonans who tough out the summer heat. As twilight fades over Reid Park, the strange rhythms and ethereal lighting of an Orts production cast a spell over the audience sitting among the trees and grass at DeMeester Outdoor Performance Center. With stars overhead and a first-class modern dance company before you, nothing beats an evening like this--except to learn that it's free!
