NEXT WEEK!
Sedona International Film Festival
is proud to present
Teri Bays’ One-Woman Play
For 15 years Teri Bays’ beautiful voice was heard at the St. John Vianney Catholic Church. Though Sedona residents and visitors might miss her angelic voice, audience members across the country are thrilled to see her perform — and also hear her sing — in her one-woman play, “Joan Chittister: Her story, my story, our story”.
Now, Bays is bringing her show back home to Sedona for a one-night performance at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Thursday, June 7 at 7 p.m.
A timely piece, “Joan Chittister: Her story, my story, our story” addresses issues around women, abuse, identity and overcoming adversity. Joan Chittister happens to be a Benedictine nun, an international speaker and author on subjects of peace, justice and women’s issues.
“Joan is a passionate and prophetic voice in the church today. It is the thrill of my life, to play this remarkable woman and speak her inspiring words,” said Bays.
One has to see the play to discover the connection between Chittister and Bays. But as the threads of their lives are revealed, audience members begin to see themselves in the story as well.
“The show has changed a bit from the first performance, Teri explained. “I added a song, I cut whole sections and changed the beginning.”
After reading the script Chittister wrote, “The work is seamlessly, artfully and movingly welded together. It’s a fresh and interesting approach to the notion of the universality of women today. It has heart and substance … great praise.”
Recently Chittister herself saw the play. When asked about that performance for Chittister, Bays said, “Performing ‘Joan Chittister’ the play for Joan Chittister was an emotional experience — for both of us.”
The Vatican tried to prevent Chittister from speaking in 2001, but she continues to be a sought-after speaker throughout the world, having written over sixty books and over seven hundred articles.Teri Bays performed in several off-Broadway shows in New York City including “The Duplex” and starred in several leading roles including Maria in “The Sound of Music”, Anita in “West Side Story” and The Witch in “Into the Woods”. Sedona residents might remember her playing opposite her Broadway-actor husband in Neil Simon’s “Chapter Two” at the Canyon Moon Theatre. Teri has written a book and recorded two CDs in addition to this play.

Dear Friend,
As you know, we have long been involved in supporting good causes and candidates for public office. From time to time, we have asked our friends to contribute to candidates whom we believe can make a difference. Few will make as much of a difference as January Contreras when she becomes the next Attorney General of Arizona in 2018.
Please join us on Wednesday, June 20, 2018 at 5:30 pm for refreshments at 80 Mitchell Dr Sedona, AZ 86336. You will have the opportunity to meet January and support her campaign for Attorney General. If you cannot join us, please consider supporting our efforts to help her be elected.
Since we met January, we have been impressed by her intelligence and record as a prosecutor and a public servant. After serving as a Deputy Maricopa County Attorney and Assistant Attorney General, she became an advisor to Secretary of Homeland Security, Janet Napolitano. She has since founded a non-profit to fight for children and victims of domestic violence and human trafficking. January has the judgment and energy to lead the largest law firm in the state, but more importantly, she has the conviction and vision needed to move Arizona forward.
We need an Attorney General committed to protecting Arizona’s most vulnerable people and standing up to the extreme policies of the Trump Administration. As an Arizona Assistant Attorney General, she protected small businesses from financial crimes and pursued perpetrators of elder abuse and exploitation. At the Department of Homeland Security, she led the charge to establish the Council on Combating Violence Against Women.
As we have seen in political races across the country, voters are ready to fight back to restore honor and integrity to government. Voters want leaders ready to focus on serious policy making. They are looking for candidates like January.
We hope all who attend will consider making a contribution of $150, $100, $50, or whatever you are comfortable contributing. Please RSVP by calling Jeff at (928) 300- 7313 or by emailing to [email protected].
We hope to see you on the 20th,
Jeff Dissinger and Pam Drake
P. S. If you cannot attend, please consider making a contribution online. Please go to our event page for January’s campaign at https://secure.actblue.com/donate/jdissinger. Thanks!
Enjoy the DORR breakfast and meet Leslie Pico, candidate for Secretary of State and candidate Kathy Hoffman, for Superintendent of Public Instruction. Also all DORR members who are running for Sedona mayor and City Council will be introduced.

Lecture at 3:00 at Sedona Library by political historian Jeff Biggers author of “RESISTANCE”, Reclaiming an American Tradition.
Contact [email protected] for more information.
Resistance, Reclaiming an American Tradition. That’s the title of a new book written by this week’s guest. Jeff Biggers is an author, journalist, historian and playwright. During a conversation with Democratic Perspective co-hosts, Steve Williamson and Mike Cosentino, he explains that resistance is the greatest form of patriotism. To make the point, Biggers uses the words of Thomas Paine, one of our nation’s most important and least known founders, who said, “Resistance is not just a protest. It’s an act of renewal.” Biggers reasons that resistance is necessary for undoing mistakes, saying “Hopelessness adapts. Hope resists.”
