2019 Parade of Homes Wrap-up.

Kayenta Homes & Properties

It was another hugely successful Saint George Parade of Homes tour.  The snow and colder weather did not keep our visitors away. We had a total of 15,890 people through our Parade Concept Home this year with many of them remarking that this was their favorite home on the tour.  Matt Marten of Gulch Design and Jake Joines of J2 Construction have been creating our Parade Home for over the last 12 years. Their combined skills and efforts always create a “show stopper” home that Kayenta Homes & Properties is proud to present along with our community volunteer hosts.

The Kayenta Parade Home was our favorite. It’s use of space, materials, colors and flow gave it a refreshing European feel.
~ Joe & Dawn, Park City, UT

Our Parade home not only stands out in design and construction, but also with our volunteer community hosts.  We here at Kayenta Homes & Properties would like to give a special thanks to all that participated.  Having the community involved in the hosting process takes our home to another level and brings a sense of community pride to our home.

Kayenta’s Parade Homes draws large crowds due in part to the depth and reach of Kayenta Homes & Properties marketing campaigns.  Visitors know about Kayenta, what’s happening and what properties are for sale because our websites are the go-to resource for up-to-date community information.

We appreciate your continued support.

A Note From Our Director

How can I thank this community for the support I experienced personally this past month?  As you attended the screening of Abducted In Plain Sight, my childhood story, and now the number one documentary on Netflix, I was overwhelmed with the palpable support and love in the room. We raised proceeds from the donated ticket sales and other generous donors who attended, for the Dove Center and the Children’s Justice Center, in the thousands. Again the care and generosity from you was so appreciated for those that need our care most in this community.  Those escaping abuse, the children and teens who face fear and uncertainty daily, and adults whose lives are ripped apart all felt your support, so thank you, thank you, thank you for making a difference.

Our other events were full to overflowing as well! Wasn’t it a blast to listen to Tom Russell, our Cowboy singer songwriter, on the one hand, and then John Smitherman (who played Phantom on Broadway) with our local dazzling singers belt out so many favorite love songs on the other? Aside from a couple of loud sound problems in the first act on opening night (which we corrected) it was wonderful.  We were then so lucky to have ‘Rosin’ one more time before Jessika Soli moves away to continue her career in NYC! She and Daniel (who is truly a world-renowned cellist) rounded out the variety of programming we are committed to bringing to the community beautifully!

Coyote Tales Storytelling (‘Frenemies’ is the theme) happens on Friday, March 1st and then 3hattrio on Saturday March 2nd––both are tremendous events. If you haven’t attended either before, then for sure you need to come on over! Mind-blown!

March is full of three great concerts and another dynamic Ron Smith lecture, but first BE SURE TO SAVE A DATE for Playwright A. R. Gurney’s “Sylvia” which dances wryly around the wild—sometimes blurry—connections people have with their dogs, the most unconditionally loving of all creatures. Gurney transforms the couple’s mid-life crisis into a hilarious and wild, ultimately redeeming adventure. He noted that the play has a “timely message of the need to connect in an increasingly alien and impersonal world. …There is a need to connect, not only to a dog, but to other people through the dog.” The New York Daily News reviewer gleefully declared, “I can only call it one of the most involving, beautiful, funny, touching and profound plays I have ever seen….”

See you at the Theatre, Jan B.

3hattrio: American Desert Folk Music

March 2, 7 – 9:30 PM
Regular Tickets: $25

“Sit and listen closely and you’ll be repaid with something that captures a spirit, a feel—the sense of the uncompromising desert life and how men live with it as they deal with the awe it creates.” —Mike Wistow,  folking.com

3hattrio’s home base is Virgin, Utah at the doorstep of Zion National Park. The Trio has been together five years and has four CD’s to their credit. They will tour Europe for the third time in August 2018 performing at the prestigious Gothenburg Sweden Culture Festival and Tønder Festival in Denmark.

For 3hattrio, the Southwest desert has an almost spiritual significance. Rooted in the natural world of their sacred homeland, they say that their genre is “American desert music,” a simple idea for a complex sound. The music 3hattrio are making sounds more like extended landscapes of sound, bare mesas that ring with electronic echoes of acoustic instruments, twisting and turning as the wind shifts. 3hattrio mix the routine with the unusual, fusing American folk music with outsider elements like autotune, psychedelia, and minimalism. It’s a wildly unusual sound, but the product of three very different musicians coming together to form something new.

The group includes Hal Cannon, who sings, and plays banjo and guitar. He is also a scholar of cowboy music and poetry. Greg Istock plays acoustic bass and foot percussion. He has a Caribbean music background and is also a visual artist.  Eli Wrankle, is classically trained violinist who studies at Southern Utah University and comes from a family of artists.

MAN OF TWO WORLD PRODUCTIONS

Sylvia, by A.R. Gurney

Sylvia

March 7– 9 & 14–16, 7:00 PM
March 10 & 16 at 6:00 PM
Regular Tickets: $30

Sylvia—A Hilarious Play About a Man, A Dog and A Midlife Crisis!

Greg and Kate have recently moved to New York City from the ‘burbs after becoming empty nesters. Greg—who’s suffering through a mid-life crisis—meets a stray dog, Sylvia, in the park, and becomes hopelessly smitten. When he brings her home, Greg’s wife, Kate, is “less than enthusiastic.” She wants the dog gone, but Greg is insistent. As Greg and Sylvia build a strong bond, Kate becomes increasingly annoyed by the new family member. As weeks pass, Greg spends more and more time with Sylvia and less and less time at his job, and with Kate. Tension continues to grow between Kate and Greg, and Kate and Sylvia, as Kate sees the precocious dog as a real threat to her marriage. Sylvia can’t understand what all the fuss is about, but she’s determined to remain in the family, whatever it takes!

The play, after a series of complications—by turns hilarious and touching—culminates when the emotionally-charged relationship between Greg, Kate and Sylvia reaches a poignant and resounding resolution.*

Playwright A. R. Gurney dances wryly around the wild—sometimes blurry—connections people have with their dogs, the most unconditionally loving of all creatures. Gurney transforms the couple’s mid-life crisis into a hilarious and wild, ultimately redeeming adventure. He noted that the play has a “timely message of the need to connect in an increasingly alien and impersonal world. …There is a need to connect, not only to a dog, but to other people through the dog.” The New York Daily News reviewer gleefully declared, “I can only call it one of the most involving, beautiful, funny, touching and profound plays I have ever seen….”

Buy tickets for Sylvia’s March 14th performance and support INKAS (Ivins No-Kill Animal Supporters), a local 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization.

*Some mild language. Suitable for ages 13+.

Sylvia is produced by Man of Two Worlds Productions and Center For the Arts at Kayenta.
