Featured on the December 12, 2024 edition of ARIZONA SPOTLIGHT with host Mark McLemore:
- ArtWorks is an all-day program for adults with developmental disabilities. Their art is being displayed at the Joseph Gross Gallery in an exhibit called “Won’t You Be My Neighbor”, featuring a series of original house designs that combine imagination with the most important aspects of what makes a house a home.

- Hear about the Tucson Audubon Society’s decision to follow a movement that is taking hold in other parts of the country and change its name to the Tucson Bird Alliance. Tony Paniagua speaks with two leaders at the local organization, who talk about creating a more inclusive and welcoming group, and why the name change is an important part of the process.

- And meet performer and playwright Fred Pitts. He’s bringing his one-man show “Aren’t You…?” to the Invisible Theatre in Tucson. It tells how Pitts gets regularly mistaken for a range of black male celebrities including Richard Roundtree, Will Smith, Billy Dee Williams and even Barack Obama. Hear how this awkward situation links up with the seemingly unconnected story of his passion for history. Fred Pitts is on a quest to explore as many historic Southwestern missions and churches as possible.
