Borderlands Theater’s beloved theatrical festival returns for a special 10-year celebration.
For the past decade, Barrio Stories has honored the histories, memories, and lived experiences of Tucson’s oldest barrios through bold, professional theater rooted in community. This milestone celebration brings together audience favorites and newly crafted pieces alongside heritage workshops and demonstrations, a Barrio museum exhibit, Barrio Viejo tours, and daily concerts.
There’s no way to experience everything happening at Barrio Stories—and that’s part of the adventure. Choose what calls to you, or go with the flow and discover something unexpected.
Regular admission: $25 suggested donation.
VIP access is available exclusively with a Borderlands Theater Season Pass. The VIP experience is a $55 value and includes parking, a Barrio Viejo tour, reserved seating, and entry to the celebration.
Experience tradition as treasure in Barrio Stories like you’ve never seen it before.
