Retro Game Show Night

09/05/2026

🎨 August's Win, Lose or Draw Badly is officially in the books, and the evidence is... concerning. 😅

Chatty Kathee and Swish Manley were on point, Dharma Davenport and Parker were on brand, our contestants were on something, and the drawings were exactly as advertised – questionable. Our round one winner walked away with a collection of creepy clown dolls (congrats?), and round two sent someone home with the full Adventure Footwear Collection: snow shoes, swim fins, and wooden clogs. Prepared for absolutely no weather condition, but we admire the confidence.

Huge thanks to everyone who braved Tucson's summer heat to pack the house – you made it a night to remember (and possibly a few to forget).

🔺 Up next: The $9.95 Pyramid hits the stage TOMORROW, Saturday, September 5! Think faster. No, faster than that.

We're heartbroken today. Cameron Capara had become part of our RGSN family – our official videographer since we landed at 191 Toole in March, behind the camera for nearly every show since. Cameron brought a warmth and generosity to every night he worked with us, and a silliness that made the whole room brighter. He was one of us, and we are going to miss him deeply.

Cameron was one of two men killed in Monday's shooting at Venture-N – the other victim, Vincent Siqueiros, also loved and mourned by our community.

If you're able, please join the community candlelight vigil tonight, Wednesday, at 6:30 p.m. at Catalina Park (Philip Walsted Memorial), 941 N. 4th Ave. Hold your people close. 💛

This Saturday at Hotel Congress benefiting SAAF!

Come to the Congress Plaza this Saturday 8/29 to celebrate the life and legacy of two legends: It’s DollyWeird! A tribute to the works of Dolly Parton and Tim Curry.

Known for the presences on the stage, on film and on the airwaves, we’ll be playing their music all evening long from ‘9 to 5’ to ‘Rocky Horror’! We’ll also feature visuals from their movies and other surprises as well—costumes are encouraged!

In the spirit of both Dolly Parton and Tim Curry, admission is totally FREE but we will be taking donations at our box office to benefit the Southern Arizona AIDS Foundation.
7pm - 10pm | FREE | All Ages

We're heartbroken to share the news of Eric Rau's sudden passing this past Saturday.

Tucson's theater and improv communities lost one of their brightest lights. Eric graced the Retro Game Show Night stage several times as Belvedere Bottoms — a larger-than-life Southern belle with a rapier wit and a heart just as huge as Eric's. On stage and off, Eric was talented, hilarious, and endlessly kind, and he leaves a hole in this community that won't be filled.

Our hearts go out to his husband Cam and to Eric's whole family. We're keeping you close in our thoughts.

Rest easy, Belvedere. We'll miss you dearly.

🎨🚨 TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT — Michelangelo already left, so it's up to Chatty Kathee, Swish Manley, and our celebrity guests to finish the job (badly). Doors at 6, show at 7 — see you at 191 Toole! 🖍️🔥

Pictionary called. It's filing a restraining order. 💔🖍️

This Saturday, 191 Toole becomes ground zero for terrible drawings and even worse guesses. Free parking, ice-cold A/C, zero visible talent — Win, Lose or Draw Badly is BACK and it's somehow worse than you remember. In the best way. 😂🚨 Video by Cameron Davis
