Seussical Jr.
Arts and Culture
Just imagine a world where anything's possible as Scottsdale Desert Stages Children’s Theatre performs the musical “SEUSSICAL JR.” – on stage August 22 through September 21, 2008. Performances are 7:30pm Fridays and Saturdays; 1pm and 3pm Saturdays and Sundays. Beloved Seuss stories and themes are woven together in this colorful musical that follows the adventures of the Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz and a gaggle of delightful Seuss characters who try to restore harmony to the Jungle of Nool. The Tony Award-winning team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty give a Seussian-spin to the score which cleverly combines a gumbo of musical styles--from Latin to pop; swing to gospel; and R&B to funk! So let your toes tap, your fingers snap, and you're imagination run wild for "Oh, the thinks you can think, when you think about Seuss!" Tickets are $12-$15. Call 480-483-1664.

Passion & Purpose: Finding Flexible and Meaningful Opportunities
Education/Classes
Studies indicate that 80 percent of baby boomers are not interested in retirement. Rather, they want to transition to more flexible, meaningful work, but find few opportunities “out there” in either the profit or non-profit world. In this panel discussion, boomers who have made major career changes will discuss how they found or created new and meaningful opportunities. Topics include paid and unpaid work, flexible part-time work with benefits, starting a business, social entrepreneurship, project work, changing the corporate and volunteer infrastructure, and how to deal with age discrimination.

When she accidentally poisons 52 sisters with her soup, problems unfold. The nuns' funds aren't enough to cover such huge burial costs, so the sisters get creative. Mother Superior organizes a talent show fundraiser to earn money. Think of it as “Mrs. Doubtfire enters the Convent.” For heaven sakes, don’t miss this one!

The switcheroo musical by Dan Goggin is based on the original “Nunsense” show. The “sisters” are “brothers” with all of the characters being portrayed by male musical comedy performers. Join the “Sisters” from Hoboken as they merrily sing and dance their way to raise money to bury the last of their peers, all victims of Sister Julia’s poor cooking. When she accidentally poisons 52 sisters with her soup, problems unfold. The nuns' funds aren't enough to cover such huge burial costs, so the sisters get creative. Mother Superior organizes a talent show fundraiser to earn money. Think of it as “Mrs. Doubtfire enters the Convent.” For heaven sakes, don’t miss this one!

Having only recently become a Sedona resident, California native Lily Ann has been dubbed “best technical director” by The Los Angeles Times as well as heralded by The Hollywood Reporter as “an outstanding musical scorer” for her work on the legit stages of Los Angeles.

Experience a whole new level of meditation and blessings! During the first portion of the meditation, students will take a candle from the water circle and find a comfortable place to sit. Focus will then be on the flame of the candle. Allowing the mind to settle down, giving it something to focus on, while also creating a space for the body to relax. Along with the candle, will be a bottle of water, with an expression on it. The expression changes every week. These are positive emotions; such as love, kindness, respect, and peace. The participants infuse this expression into the water during the meditation. We then make the water available to the public, in the cafe. Each bottle of water has its own blessing card attached, letting the person purchasing the water know that the water was blessed with that particular emotional vibration. During the second part of the meditation, the candles are blown out, and everyone lies down on a mat or blanket and closes their eyes. The sound…
