Arizona Senior Follies to Benefit Eve's Place, 11/19

Theater Works will host the ARIZONA SENIOR FOLLIES as they perform the concert "Music, Music, Music" to benefit Eve's Place - a local center for victims of domestic violence.  Danny Davis of KOY-AM radio will be the master of ceremonies for the two hour performance.  "Music, Music, Music" also has many local performers including Anna Engstrom, winner of the "Idol In The Skye" competition held at the Skye Restaurant this past summer.  Join Theater Works on November 19th at 7 p.m. for a spectacular evening with the ARIZONA SENIOR FOLLIES.  Tickets are only $29 and 100% of the proceeds will go directly to Eve's Place to help the men, women and children in their shelters.

The variety show will feature an exciting evening of singing, dancing and comedy and is sponsored by the Cameo Foundation and Ms. Senior Arizona Organization.   This talented and worthy event will include a glass of wine and lively entertainment all benefiting a good cause.  Additional performers include "Idol In The Skye" finalists Nancy Taylor, Libby Rath, Herme Sherry, Winifred Dean and Barry Jeannelle.   Other local artists include Dody Homan, a tap dancer and choreographer who has been a choreographer on Broadway, Disney and Hollywood Productions, Maddy Paschal, Ms. Senior Arizona 2010, who just returned from Atlantic City where she took first runner up in the Ms. Senior America Pageant and award winning Swing Dancers - Mindy & Paul Hubbard.

The proceeds from "Music, Music, Music" will help pay for new shoes and clothing for the first day of a new job, bus fare back to family or deposits to get their own apartment. The fundraising gives Eve's Place that extra money to help with gas or car repairs.   Eve's Place is 5.5 years old and has 38 emergency crisis beds that serve women, men and children who are victims of domestic violence. 
 
Women and children are able to stay in a safe house while the male victims and their children are housed in hotels or other off site locations.  Services are the same for both men and women once shelter is provided.  The victims of domestic violence receive services such as case management, goal setting, safety planning, transportation, job readiness, support groups and assistance with long term housing.  They are able to stay up to 120 days once they are accepted into the program.
 
Children receive their own individualized services as well.  They do safety planning, goal setting, support groups, field trips and assistance with getting into school, tutoring and bonding exercises with their parent.  The children's program has a full time staff person and volunteers that provide support services.  Children are able to continue going to school, sometimes in their original school, but more often in one of the schools within walking distance of our safe house.
