Some call it the cradle of civilization, some call it Iraq and Syria, some may only remember the Tigris and Euphrates rivers from the geography class. Our semi-educational age-integrated variety-infotainment show starts at 7:30 pm on April 10 at the Empty Space Theater in Tempe, Arizona. As always the show is free and all are welcome.

The Encyclopedia Show AZ is turning 4 on Monday February 27. If the Encyclopedia Show AZ was a human, it would be stumbling around, annoyingly asking everyone “Why?” all the time. Turns out, thats exactly what we do anyway but with a stage, an audience, and a concept. This month, our topic is Railroads! As always the show is free and will feature a variety of semi-educational performances from the community’s poets, performers, musicians, etc. This train is pulling out of the station promptly(ish) at 7:30pm. Heres to four more years of Encyclopedia Show AZ! Everybody with me now: FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!

Kevin Flanagan is a writer, performer, and artist living in Phoenix, Arizona.

When Kevin was three years old, he pushed a sheet metal screw up his nose. It was there for some time before being discovered, and required a trip to the emergency room to remove.
