At Home in the Desert

April 30 & May 1, 2014 – 6:30pm

The Arizona Centennial may be over, but the Legacy continues. Activities associated with the Centennial didn’t end with the celebration in 2012. Arizona Centennial Legacy Projects were conceived for continuing impact and range from restoration of historic properties to public art and musical compositions.

 

Legacy Projects are created and supported by members of the community, after being approved by the Arizona Historical Advisory Committee.

 

One of the Legacy Projects, "At Home in the Desert" written by Phyllis Strupp, is a one-act play, seeking to help tweens be resilient amidst social difficulties by connecting with the natural world around them, the desert. The play promotes diversity and communication and will be made available to schools statewide, as a tool to reduce bullying.

 

The story features the adventures of twelve-year-old Chloe, who learns valuable life lessons from the Sonoran Desert with the help of some mysterious friends (historical figures, desert plants and animals). Alex, a teen with autism, is a hero who defends Chloe against Jimmy the playground bully

 

"At Home in the Desert" is directed by Aubrey Grace Watkins and choreographed by Kenda Newbury, with original music by Kevin Glenn. Hohokam-inspired animal masks are designed by Robin Ray.

 

The play and associated teaching tools will be finalized into a package made available to all K through 12 schools in Arizona, for their use. Phase one of the Legacy Project was writing, fundraising and workshopping the play; phase two is this live production; and phase three will be finalization and distribution of the teaching package that includes lesson plans, script, music, and instructions on the creation of masks, costumes and sets.

 

"At Home in the Desert" partners are Cave Creek Unified School District, Cave Creek Museum, Foothills Community Foundation, Desert Foothills Library, the Desert Awareness Committee, Desert Foothills Theater, Kiwanis Club of Carefree, and Partners in Education.

 

The play will be performed on April 30, and May 1, 2014, 6:30pm at the Cactus Shadows Fine Arts Center. Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for ages 12 and under. Contact the Foothills Community Foundation for additional information at info@azfcf.org or 480-488-1090. Tickets are available as of April 1 at the Desert Foothills Library or the Foothills Community Foundation.

The Cactus Shadows Fine Arts Center is located at 33606 N. 60th Street, Scottsdale AZ 85266. 

 

Desert Foothills Youth Theater presents A Midsummer Night’s Dream:

A Midsummer Night’s Dream is one of William Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies. There is a love triangle, mischievous fairies, royals, workmen that dream of being actors and all of their stories come to meet one night in the woods outside of Athens. This not your musty, dusty Shakespeare. It is re-imagined, re-thought and re-envisioned for today’s audience. It’s a fresh new take, brought to life by an exciting and energetic young cast and crew who challenge you to put aside your notions of what it means to be a “classic.”

May 2-11, FCF-Holland Cabaret Theater, 34250 N. 60th St., Building B, Scottsdale

Tickets: http://www.dftheater.org OR 480-488-1981

DFYT is a program of the Foothills Community Foundation.

Jubilate Violin Orchestra Hosts

May Fundraiser Recital

At Christ Anglican Church in Carefree

The Jubilate Violin Orchestra (JVO) will host a fundraiser recital from 3:00-4:30 p.m. on Saturday, May 10th at the Christ Anglican Church in Carefree. The event is open to the public with a $5 suggested donation at the door.

The fundraiser will help raise money for the JVO and includes performances by the Jubilate Family Choir, an all-ages music group, as well as presentations by the Jubilate Music Theory class.  Light refreshments will follow the recital.

 

Currently, the JVO offers a general music theory class, where children learn to read music, as well as Level 1 and Level 2 violin instruction classes. These courses are part of an expanding family music program that began under the direction of Fr. Steven Dart.

 

Starting in August, the JVO is adding an expanded selection of music programs that will include two levels of theory classes and a Level 3 violin instruction course.

While all of the programs are free and open to all ages, the Level 3 course will have tuition, and students must meet second level proficiency for entry.

 

Laya Field, of Cave Creek, teaches the course. Fields is a classically trained violinist and opera singer who began playing the violin at the age of eight.

 

All JVO programs take place at the Dorothy McGinnis Hall of Christ Anglican Church, 35500 N. Cave Creek Road, ½ mile north of the corner of Carefree Highway and Cave Creek Road, in Carefree. For more information, call 480-993-6147.

                             

Christ Anglican Church is located at 35500 N. Cave Creek Road in Carefree, Arizona. For information, call 480-488-0525 or visit www.christchurchaz.com. The church is part of the Anglican Province of Christ the King, a nationwide body of Traditional Episcopal Churches.

Dear Lyn,

I hope this finds you well!  Been busy at this end! 

I’m sure it will come as no surprise to you that it is with great enthusiasm that I continue to serve as Chair Emeritus of Valley Youth Theatre – now in its 24th year! 

On Thursday, June 19th, we partner with more than 40 social service agencies including UMOM, Boys and Girls Clubs, Crisis Nursery, Up with Kids and Valley Big Brothers Big Sisters to name a few, to provide at-risk youth with a truly awesome opportunity to experience performing arts.  It’s Valley Youth Theatre’s 18th annual Sponsor-A-Seat!  Our board members, staff, young performers and volunteers contribute to the event, and we hope you will too!

Last year, your generous donation of $50 helped us to bring more than 750 children who had physical disabilities, came from broken homes, or regularly dealt with domestic violence and poverty to the Herberger Theater Center to experience the wonder of live theater!  Our goal is more ambitious this year – to bring 1,500 children to VYT’s special performance of the original Broadway Musical version of Peter Pan  followed by a healthy lunch with the cast and crew post performance. 

Here’s your opportunity to bring joy into the life of a child in need! Your tax-deductible gift of only $50 sponsors one child for this magical event.  Please consider sponsoring two or more and help us “fill the theatre with smiles” on lots of tiny faces. You will know in your heart that you made a difference in the life of a child.

Easy!  Simply go to https://www.vyt.com/supporters/donate-now!.aspx and type in SAS/Ozer in the “I would like my gift to be made in the honor of” section. Or mail your donation to SAS, Valley Youth Theatre, 807 N Third Street, Phoenix, AZ 85004 using the attached form!

This is so very important. The need to dream, inspire imagination, access and participate in the arts, for all children is more critical than ever.  I hope you will find it in your heart and pocketbook to make a donation to this essential program and contribute once more to the healthy development of at-risk youth through the magic of Valley Youth Theatre.      

Please do it today!  You are making a difference!

Warmest regards,

Hope H. Ozer, Chair Emeritus

Valley Youth Theatre Board of Directors
