East Side Heroes w/Fr. Greg Boyle ~ April 17
|
 East Side Heroes was founded in 2003 by Enrique S. Flores who's desire
was to duplicate and "pay forward" the type of assistance he received
throughout his life from the Jesuit Community which included: Academic
Scholarships, Mentorship and Leadership Development.
With the support of the community, East Side Heroes, a volunteer driven non-profit has been able to
raise over $150,000 dollars to offer scholarships to disadvantaged students to enroll in Catholic high schools. Come celebrate and support the work of this
great organization and hear the dynamic and inspiring words of Fr. Greg Boyle, S.J. of Homeboy Industries.

Rumpelstiltskin ~ April 2
|
California Theatre Center (CTC) presents
RUMPELSTILTSKIN
 Recall the Grimm Brothers moral tale of promises made and promises broken. When a poor miller tries to impress the greedy king by boasting untruthfully that his beautiful daughter can spin straw into gold, the king locks the girl in a room with a spinning wheel and some straw. A strange little man appears and entices the young maiden to promise him her first born child if he assists her. Later, he returns to claim the baby in fulfillment of their bargain, but is undone by his own ego. K-5 Children's Production.
