The Asteroid Reading Series is the fourth iteration of Tucson poet, Eva Sierra’s, Reading Series, an all-ages poetry open mic which began in 2020. The series aims to provide a safe space for people of all identities to share. Reading in the title references astrology and tarot readings: inviting ancestors, spirit and divinity to empower those who step to the mic. THE ASTEROID READINGS, named after some of the asteroids regarded in astrology, begin January 2024 in collaboration with Borderlands Theatre. More info, bios, and full schedule here.

Borderlands Theater Awarded 100K to participate in One Nation One Project
Leveraging the power of the arts for the wellbeing of all.
Excited to announce our participation in the One Nation One Project initiative! We’re centering the role of the arts as a vital tool for community wellness. The central theory is that community plus the arts equals healthier people, healthier societies. ONOP has gathered research and statistics to prove this theory. We’re one of 18 cities across the country, setting out to gather more data to back the claim, that arts are vital to our own and our city’s wellbeing.
“Congratulations Borderlands Theater. Thank you for your incredible work telling our history.” – Mayor Regina Romero.
