The decision to offer brunch came from the owners, Nicole Flowers and Travis Reese, and their love of long and lazy weekend meals. “Great urban centers almost always include a thriving brunch scene,” said Reese. “As downtown continues to grow, we wanted to translate our dinner program into a brunch venue that includes quality comfort-food for Saturday afternoon diners.” “And we feel we have the perfect venue to do that with our patio,” added Flowers.

The new menu includes favorites such as their grass-fed beef burger but also new creations for breakfast like their egg scramble with basil, tomatoes and their fresh house-made mozzarella.

Brunch opens at 10am, and will run until 4pm when 47 scott transitions to their dinner menu.

47 scott opened in May 2010 and serves modern American comfort food in Downtown Tucson. In October 2010 Flowers and Reese opened scott & co, a nod to early 20th century bars and the cocktails they served. Both have received national recognition for their unique and innovative approach to food and spirits.

In Don’t Look Now, three artists—Chris Rush, James Reed and Craig Cully—look both backwards and forwards to what was and may very well be an Age of Enlightenment in a time of severe changes to our political, societal and cultural norms.

Using portraiture, historical references and an eye trained on the public and personal, these three artists push us to look at and under our conflicted, itchy skin. And if we don’t look now, when?

Please join the artists at our opening reception Saturday night featuring DJ Buttafly on the tables!

Brian Dykstra’s new hip hop play Used To Was (Maybe Did) rocks The Temple Lounge at Arizona Theatre Company as the next installment of the Café Bohemia new play reading series on Sunday, November 20, 2011 at 8:00 PM in The Temple Lounge. The evening is presented in conjunction with Tucson Museum of Art’s Tucson Rocks and includes live music provided by Southwest Soul Circuit. Café Bohemia is a season of play readings, jams and ideas featuring new works from bold and inventive playwrights which invites audiences to The Temple Lounge to participate in the new play process to hear works read aloud by the best local and national actors. Café Bohemia is sponsored by Providence Service Corporation.

Used To Was (Maybe Did) by Brian Dykstra is a hip hop play that uses the language of hip hop poetry to argue age-old questions within the form. Style v. Substance, Ethics v. Selling Out, The Spirit of Hip Hop v. The Money of Hip Hop. Is it a language of love and inclusion, or is it all about the green?

“This is the first Café Bohemia show I will direct,” said ATC Associate Artistic Director Stephen Wrentmore, “and the first show I will direct for ATC in my new role. It is a thrill to work with Brian Dykstra again, he is a wonderful artist who has created an extraordinary play full of complexity, wit and rage. What I love about this series is the raw dialogue with a diversity of audience in our Temple Lounge. There is a really exciting chemistry surrounding every play, and I believe the spirit and energy of Used To Was (Maybe Did) will be no exception.”

The cast is made up of the writer, Brian Dykstra, and Arizona actors Mike Traylor, A. Calion Maston and Michelle Luz.

The playwrights of these exciting new works will be present at the readings as they continue to develop their scripts. Tucson audiences are invited to enter the dramatic process at its inception, being among the first people in the world to hear these stories come to life, investing in the future of the American theatre by starting relationships with new playwrights and new audiences. Admission is only $5 at the door.

Tucson Rocks is a city wide celebration of the art of rock and roll. At the center of the celebration is the exhibition, Who Shot Rock & Roll: A Photographic History, 1955 to the Present, opening at the Tucson Museum of Art on October 23, 2011. Arts and culture organizations from around the city will be presenting exhibitions, performances, fashion shows, and more that showcase the art and influence of rock and roll on our lives.
