HIGH SCHOOL RULES: In spite of the fact Canyon del Oro High School receives no district funding for its productions, the fine arts department has persevered over the last 15 years, giving students the opportunity to stage, sing and dance in a variety of contemporary Broadway musicals. See what they can do in Crazy for You, a Gershwin musical comedy with performances at 7 p.m. March 28 through 30 in the school auditorium, 25 W. Calle Concordia. Tickets are $4 adults, $3 for students and seniors. ART SMART: Raise your hand if you remember the bygone Pima County bureaucrat who announced publicly that public art was synonymous with a statue of a guy on a horse. Better yet, attend Public Forums on Public Art, a new series of informal discussions on Tucson's public art and artists, hosted by the Tucson/Pima Arts Council. Public art administrators from Phoenix, Tempe and Scottsdale show slides of recently completed projects and share plans for upcoming art opportunities at 3 p.m. Friday, March 29, at 240 N. Stone Ave. Call 624-0595 for information. WHITE ELEPHANT SALE: You won't find any extra-large albino mammals, but you may find some other rare and beautiful items, as small as a pendant or large as a hand-crafted bed, at the 15th annual Arizona Historical Society Docent Council's White Elephant Sale. Gaze with the herd from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 29 and 30, at 949 E. Second St. Donations are still being accepted, all contributions are tax deductible and pick-up is free.
