Arizona Gives Day 2024
All Day

What is AZ Gives Day?

Giving Tuesday is among the few days of the year where people are actively seeking causes to support, rather than the other way around. On Tuesday, April 2, 2024, the entire state will be talking about, thinking about, and discussing ways each of us can contribute to a better society.

Matching donations

 

EVCT has secured $1500 in matching donations for AZ Gives Day. Any donations given in honor of Gives Day will be doubled up to this amount. If you’d like to be a matching donor, of any amount, please contact Board President, Lisa Olson, at [email protected].

The Adventures of Rikki-Tikki Tavi

ADAPTED FROM THE JUNGLE STORIES OF RUDYARD KIPLING
BY TIM KELLY

Charm, comedy and enchantment are rolled into one to create children’s theatre at its best!  Start with an empty stage, then add in jungle sounds, a few props, and simple snippets of animal costumes.  Our storyteller from India sparks the audience’s imagination to see the jungle and its creatures as he weaves the magical tale and the actors interpret the roles of cobras, monkeys, wolves, a crocodile, a camel, an elephant and the wily mongoose, Rikki-Tikki Tavi.  A British family in old India is in jeopardy from marauding cobras in league with Shere Khan, the arrogant tiger.  Only Rikki can save them, and he does so in a surprising way.  The opportunities for visual comedy and improvisation are endless in this gem of a play.
