SUMMARY:Poetry Jams: Thresholds
DESCRIPTION:SUMMER ARTS SHOWCASE: POETRY\nPoetry Jams: Thresholds\nhosted by Amanda Empey\nJune 27\, 8:00PM – 10:00PM\nKayenta Outdoor Theater\n\nWe’re taking the mic under the stars! Join us for a collaborative jam with local poets. The theme is Thresholds. Come and hear poetry\, read your own work\, and even write something new. We’ll see you soon! \n\n\n\n\nAmanda Empey\, author of White Crown Academy\, has been part of the Southern Utah writing community for nearly 10 years. As the current president of Write On\, St George\, she is passionate to see local writers succeed. Amanda has two book projects underway and has recently taken an interest in writing poetry.

SUMMARY:Aristides Rivas and Meena Malik: Remembering\, A Theatrical Concert
DESCRIPTION:MUSIC & STORYTELLING\nAristides Rivas and Meena Malik\nRemembering\, A Theatrical Concert\nSaturday\, April 25\, 2026 | 7:30pm\nPerformance to be followed by a reception with the artists.  \nLorraine Boccardo Theater\nRemembering is more than a concert—it’s a powerful musical storytelling experience about identity\, memory\, and belonging. Acclaimed vocalist Meena Malik and masterful cellist Aristides Rivas weave together music and personal narrative to explore their journeys as immigrants\, artists\, and parents. \nInspired by a question from their son—“What is an immigrant?”—the program reflects on the traditions they carried from their home countries of Japan and Venezuela\, the challenges of navigating grief and change\, and the healing role music has played in their lives. \nThough deeply personal\, their stories resonate universally. Through song\, reflection\, and shared experience\, audiences are invited to consider their own connections to home\, heritage\, and the memories that shape who we are. \nTICKETS\n\n \nAristides Rivas and Meena Malik: Remembering is generously sponsored by Sunshine Family Haven.
