The National Geographic Live Series at Mesa Arts Center is back for its eighth season!
The 2014-2015 season will commence in October and the four captivating shows
are all a must see. Audience members are taken on a journey with National
Geographic scientists, explorers, photographers, and filmmakers where they
experience rarely seen behind the scenes perspectives.
The series begins with Steve Winter, On the Trail of Big Cats: Tigers, Cougars, and Snow Leopards, on
October 15. Winter, an award-winning photographer captures the images of these
majestic animals. Winter shares the exciting and often dangerous plights he
encounters in order to share the exquisite beauty of the creatures. 
The next speakers are David Doubilet and Jennifer Hayes with
Coral, Fire & Ice on November 12.
Doubilet, a legendary underwater photographer, and his wife, Hayes, who is a
photojournalist and aquatic biologist, bring the audience a look into a
beautiful and foreign underwater world. They travel around the world and
explore divers and lively waters on National Geographic assignments.
Then, on February 4, Mike Libecki, a climber and explorer,
and Cory Richards, a climber and photographer, bring us Untamed Antarctica. They take the audience to a remote landscape
few have ever seen. Battling extreme cold and wind, Libecki and Richards brave
a ten-day climb to the summit of Wohlthat Range, and they bring the audience
with them through their gripping journey.
