Tucson, renowned for its thriving food scene and burgeoning theater community, is the perfect backdrop for an evening that combines local cuisine and a captivating musical performance.

Fresco Pizzeria & Pastaria and Zio Peppe, in collaboration with Saguaro City Music Theater, have joined forces to offer an all-in-one “dinner and a show” package that not only supports beloved local restaurants but also champions a promising, emerging musical theater experience.

The event kicks off on the auspicious date of Friday the 13th, but don’t worry if you can’t make it then – this collaborative production will run through Sunday, October 29.

Step One: Dine and be dazzled

Embrace the art of dining at your restaurant of choice: Fresco or Zio Peppe — two culinary gems that have charmed the hearts of Tucson’s food enthusiasts. Fresco is your gateway to Italy, where wood-fired pizzas adorned with locally sourced ingredients reign supreme. In contrast, Zio Peppe marries Old World traditions with a dash of modernity, weaving a tapestry of Italian and Mediterranean cuisine. Take your pick and savor a dinner that will set the stage for a night of flavor and entertainment.

Simply present your ticket to the restaurant partner and ask for the “Saguaro City Prie Fixe,” which will unveil a tailored menu for the evening.

Fresco Pizzeria & Pastaria Prie Fixe Menu

• Caesar Salad
• Choice of Chicken Marsala, Chicken Picatta, or Pasta Primavera
• A glass of wine, beer, or dessert of your choice

Zio Peppe Prie Fixe Menu

• Elote Arancini
• Rotini alla Tequila or Specialty Pizza of your choice
• A glass of beer or wine or dessert of your choice

Step Two: A theatrical feast for the senses

Next, make your way to the Edward B. Berger Performing Arts Center, located at 1200 W. Speedway Blvd. There, you’ll be immersed in the magical world of musical theater, as Saguaro City Music Theater presents their rendition of “Little Shop of Horrors.”

At the heart of Saguaro City’s mission lies the promotion of diverse artistic opportunities and community involvement, making this collaboration with local eateries a truly extraordinary experience.
