RISO and Freddy & Francine
JUNE 7
RISO and Freddy & Francine are re-emerging from hiatuses and looking forward to connecting with Tucson fans again. Freddy & Francine’s show follows Bianca Caruso’s degree in Deaf studies from the UA. Caruso, who is the Francine to Lee Ferris’ Freddy, recruited an ALS interpreter for the set. During the pandemic, they moved to Flagstaff, had a child, and have since returned to the Old Pueblo. “We’ve been building a more stable life, which means fewer shows. So when we do play, we want it to be special for us and the audience,” Caruso said. “Now that we’re parents, we know how precious a night out can be. We want the evening to be joyful, meaningful and maybe even a little tearful.”
