Announced July 15, the slate includes more than a dozen new exhibitions. http://www.getoutaz.com/story/3977 Dinosaurs haven't lumbered through Arizona in about 65 million years. http://www.getoutaz.com/story/3975 What does it take to be one of the Phoenix Fridas? http://www.getoutaz.com/story/4003 Justin Germain knows two things about dreams: "Everybody has them, and no one understands them," says the ASU graduate student. http://www.getoutaz.com/story/3978 When Gilbert's Hale Centre Theatre opened in July 2003, many people thought owner Dave Dietlein was crazy. Didn't he know everyone in Arizona hibernates from the summer heat? Since then, he's had a show playing every single week of the year - summers included. http://www.getoutaz.com/story/3952 Douglas Pasley has a plan. Literally. As managing director of soon-to-debut dance company Novaballet, he's constructed a 39-page preliminary business plan detailing every aspect of the organization, down to the significance of the word "nova" (from Latin, by the way, used to describe a star not previously known). http://www.getoutaz.com/story/3951 What do Rick Springfield and Jack Hanna have in common? Well, they both were on television a lot in the 1980s, and they'll both be at Chandler Center for the Arts as part of the upcoming 2008-09 season, announced Tuesday. http://www.getoutaz.com/story/3957 Self-proclaimed "D-list" star Kathy Griffin will bring her stand-up act to the Dodge Theatre in Phoenix on Nov. 6. The show begins at 8 p.m. http://www.getoutaz.com/story/3923 Mesa was founded by Latter-Day Saints settlers in 1878 and still has a strong Mormon population to this day, so it shouldn't be surprising that the Mesa Arts Center is hosting "1856," a musical depicting Mormon handcart pioneers - or that the musical was written by third-generation Mesa resident Cory Ellsworth. http://www.getoutaz.com/story/3922 For many community theater troupes, casting a musical like "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" - with its 20 lead characters - could be a challenge. It was never an issue for the Queen Creek Performing Arts Center\'s Community Theatre, says group president Valeen Nielson.
