National Theatre Live: Fleabag
December 20, 2026 | 1PM
$15 for Members | $20 for Non-Members
Written and performed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge and directed by Vicky Jones, Fleabag is a rip-roaring look at some sort of woman living her sort of life. Following a box-office record-breaking run in cinemas in 2019, the one-woman show returns to the big screen this winter at Phoenix Art Museum.
Fleabag may seem oversexed, emotionally unfiltered and self-obsessed, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. With family and friendships under strain and a guinea pig café struggling to keep afloat, Fleabag suddenly finds herself with nothing to lose.
The hilarious, award-winning play that inspired the BBC’s hit TV series Fleabag, was captured live on stage from London’s West End in 2019.
National Theatre Live is a telecast and not a live performance at the Museum.
National Theatre Live screenings are made possible in part by the Angela and Leonard Singer Endowment for Performing Arts.
General Admission tickets include all exhibitions and installations.
TICKETS: $23 Adults | $20 Seniors | $18 Students (with valid ID) | $13 Youth (6-17) | Free for Museum Members, and youth 5 and under.

National Theatre Live: Frankenstein
October 31, 2026 | 1PM
$15 for Members | $20 for Non-Members
Directed by Academy Award®-winner Danny Boyle (Trainspotting, Slumdog Millionaire), Frankenstein features Benedict Cumberbatch (Hamlet, BBC’s Sherlock) and Jonny Lee Miller (Elementary, Trainspotting) alternating between the roles of Victor Frankenstein and his creation.
We will be screening the version that features Cumberbatch as the Creature.
Childlike in his innocence but grotesque in form, Frankenstein’s bewildered creature is cast out into a hostile universe by his horror-struck maker. Meeting with cruelty wherever he goes, the increasingly desperate and vengeful Creature determines to track down his creator and strike a terrifying deal.
Scientific responsibility, parental neglect, cognitive development and the nature of good and evil, are embedded within this thrilling and deeply disturbing classic tale.
Captured live on stage in 2011, this thrilling, sold-out production became an international sensation, experienced by almost half a million people in cinemas around the world.
National Theatre Live is a telecast and not a live performance at the Museum.
National Theatre Live screenings are made possible in part by the Angela and Leonard Singer Endowment for Performing Arts.

Films at PhxArt: American Pachuco with Director David Alvarado
September 2, 2026 | 6PM
$10 for Members | $15 for Non-Members
Join us after the film for an in-person Q&A with Director David Alvarado.
Against political resistance and industry skepticism, Luis Valdez pushed Chicano storytelling from the fields to the film screen with Zoot Suit and La Bamba, crafting iconic works that challenge, celebrate, and expand America’s story. From migrant farmworker to revolutionary artist, Luis Valdez changed American culture. In the 1960s, his El Teatro Campesino performed on flatbed trucks and helped mobilize workers to win the first farmworker union contract. His Zoot Suit was the first Chicano play on Broadway. Despite critical rejection that killed the show, he persevered, creating La Bamba—a blockbuster breakout film that authentically depicted Mexican American life to the world.
Now in its 60th year, El Teatro continues to be a beacon for Latino/a creators. This is the story of an artist who gave voice to the overlooked and opened pathways for generations. Featuring interviews with Linda Ronstadt, Lou Diamond Phillips, Cheech Marin, Delores Huerta, and Edward James Olmos.
Winner of both the Audience and Jury awards at the Sundance film festival.
National Theatre Live: Mrs. Warren’s Profession
September 27, 2026 | 1PM

Five-time Olivier Award winner Imelda Staunton (The Crown) joins forces with her real-life daughter Bessie Carter (Bridgerton) for the very first time, playing mother and daughter in Bernard Shaw’s incendiary moral classic.
Vivie Warren is a woman ahead of her time. Her mother, however, is a product of that old patriarchal order. Exploiting it has earned Mrs. Warren a fortune – but at what cost?
Filmed live from the West End, this new production reunites Staunton with director Dominic Cooke (Follies, Good), exploring the clash between morality and independence, traditions and progress.
National Theatre Live is a telecast and not a live performance at the Museum.
National Theatre Live screenings are made possible in part by the Angela and Leonard Singer Endowment for Performing Arts.

$10 for Members | General Admission for general public
SOUNDCHECK is back. One Friday per month from 7–8 pm, Phoenix Art Museum turns into a live-music venue for one hour: unplugged sets, local and regional acts, and art all around you. Season one brought you 76th Street, fearofmakingout, and The Phoenix Symphony. Season two goes bigger with Arizona Hall of Fame recipients, Meat Puppets.
Formed in Phoenix in the early 1980s, the Meat Puppets turned punk's creative freedom loose on country, psychedelia, and Southwestern desert weirdness, making landmark albums like Meat Puppets II and Up on the Sun before Kurt Cobain brought brothers Curt and Cris Kirkwood onstage for Nirvana's MTV Unplugged and introduced them to a generation. More than 40 years in, the founding trio is back together, joined by keyboardist Ron Stabinsky and guitarist Elmo Kirkwood. As drummer Derrick Bostrom puts it, "This doesn't feel like an oldies act. It feels like the culmination."
Tickets include all-day access to the Museum.
SOUNDCHECK is made possible through the generosity of Presenting Sponsor Men’s Arts Council,
with additional support from the Angela and Leonard Singer Endowment for the Performing Arts.
