"Zanna, Don't!", presented by Desert Stages Theatre |
Now through April 25th |
| Don't miss this fun and incredible musical! We've seen it, and it's GREAT! "Zanna, Don't!" is set in a world where homosexuality is the norm, and heterosexuals are considered an oddity. The town is called Heartsville, USA. All of the characters are homosexual, or so we think, until one bold student writes a musical about forbidden heterosexual attraction in the army, and the true, closeted desires of two of the cast members come to the surface. A world much like our own and the chaos that ensues when people love who they want to, gay or straight. | |
 |

The concept is simple. Invite your friends to dinner in your home. In return, they make a donation ($25 minimum per guest) to Aunt Rita's Foundation. You and your guests are then invited to attend the Sugar & Champagne SAVORlife Soirée at the Phoenix Art Museum. SAVORlife is a signature event of Aunt Rita's Foundation, dedicated to raising money for central Arizona organizations that provide HIV/AIDS services. | |
