SUMMARY:YETi Presents: Romeo & Juliet
DESCRIPTION:View Romeo & Juliet Program \nWhen Romeo and Juliet meet\, it’s love at first sight. But in a city divided by violence and pride\, their connection is as dangerous as it is electric. As secret vows are exchanged and loyalties are tested\, a single act of revenge sets off a chain reaction that spirals beyond anyone’s control. \nThis production amplifies the passion and energy at the core of Shakespeare’s classic by putting this classic story against the backdrop of the 1980s. \nCAST\nParis: Alexandro Amarilla Wutich*\nNurse: Emarie Bryant\nMontague: George Geare*\nLady Capulet: Grace Nyberg\nLady Montague: Hadley Logvin\nEnsemble: Ira Dhall\nGregory/Ensemble: Isabella Galindo\nCapulet: Jack Hillner\nFriar Laurence: Jack Schoenfeld*\nFriar John: Kira Warton*\nRomeo: Leonardo Ritrovato\nBenvolio: Miles Whelan\nSampson/Ensemble: Milton Manley\nTybalt: Molly Curtis\nMercutio: Mohammed Riyad\nPrince: NJ Burton\nJuliet: Samantha Seymore*\nAbraham/Ensemble: Sammy Capleton*\nApothecary/Ensemble: Venna Porter*\nBalthasar/Ensemble: Zoe Wisdom \nCREW\nDirector: Julio-César Sauceda\nAssistant Director: Eliana Lopez-Ball*\nProduction Stage Manager\, Intimacy Coordinator: Alexis Nomorosa\nAssistant Stage Manager: Belinda Wong*\nCostume & Makeup Mentor: Mya Blackshear\nCostume & Make Up Apprentices: K.C.

SUMMARY:JSonic and The Unknown
DESCRIPTION:When JSonic\, the intergalactic hero known for his sonic powers\, crash-lands on the eerily silent planet of Whisper\, he finds himself in a world where noise is forbidden and sound is a myth. Stranded and stripped of his abilities\, he must ally with a band of unlikely heroes – mysterious locals who secretly yearn for the sound of freedom. Together\, they ignite a rhythmic rebellion to overthrow the oppressive silence\, sparking a battle that will resonate across the cosmos. Can JSonic restore the beat and bring harmony back to Whisper or will silence consume the galaxy forever? \nTickets for JSonic and The Unknown will be on sale later this month!

SUMMARY:Childsplay World of Wonder Gala
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, March 29\, our vibrant community came together at Caesar’s Republic in Scottsdale to support Childsplay’s Arts Education programs at the highly anticipated WOW Gala. Thanks to the generosity of our donors\, we raised an incredible $250\,000 to further our mission of inspiring young minds through the arts.\nSpecial recognition was given to Western Alliance Bank\, honored with the “Corporate Excellence” award for their longtime support\, and Billie Jo Herberger\, who received the “It Takes a Village” award for her unwavering dedication to the Arts. Honorary Chairs Vicki and Vernon Vaughn played a pivotal role in making this event a success. \nThe evening was filled with laughter\, heartfelt moments\, and lively festivities\, including cocktails by Cleopatra’s Pool\, photos with Napolean the mini horse\, and a fun wine and whiskey pull. The event was expertly guided by TV News personality Emma Lockhart\, who led the evening’s program with grace and enthusiasm. Auctioneer Subyn Novelle brought excitement to the live auction\, and the generous giving opportunity which helped us surpass our fundraising goals. A highlight of the evening was hearing from younh speakers Josh Huggins and Kelianne Devlin\, both of whom have benefitted significantly from Childsplay’s Academy and YETi programs. Gala Co-Chairs Brian Guzman and Jack Luciano did an outstanding job engaging new sponsors and guests\, adding a fresh energy to the event. With a sold-out crowd\, a heartwarming program\, and unforgettable dancing\, this year’s WOW Gala was an evening to remember. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a tremendous success. \nCo-chairs \nBrian P.
