P.A.T.Y.'Studio presents “Rise of the Phoenix, Through Signs and Wonders” at the Hanford Fox Theater on June 15 th  2024 featuring our Musical Theater dance students playing the roles of our Enchanted Magical Forest characters. We will also feature special guest performers from Green Rose Productions, a non-profit organization that does theater for disabled adults and children. “The cast of Green Rose Productions will also play Magical Enchanted characters and we are extremely excited to share the stage and perform in the Fox Theater” says Rosalinda Alexander founder of Green Rose Productions. Mark 16:17,18 “And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues…” God has given us multiple signs through his creation of the world and his fingerprints have been on it all: from the stars, the moon, the sun, the flowers, land, trees, animals, mankind. With the beautiful creation that He has made, it affirms that God exists, has the power to transform and create miracles in our life. Humanity can follow these signs that God gives us on a daily basis and BELIEVE in God’s promise of hope. The signs in life can be moments of prayer that we encounter with Christ, they can be interactions with others that bring us to be more enlightened in the gospel and the word of Christ, they can be moments at church where we learn about Godly living. Or as simple as the sign we see in the rainbow; the promise of hope and knowing that after the rain our plants and trees will grow; as in new life. Just like the promise demonstrated in Jesus’s resurrection, knowing that after Jesus’death, He resurrected on the 3 rd day. This too can be a sign of hope, even after grieving periods, hope will come. Our recital takes place in an enchanted magical forest, our main character Divinity is soul-searching and writing in her diary. She asks God to give her a transformation of life, renew her spirit to help her in building success after all the past failures she’s had, and she is asking God for a transformation. Little does she know that she will be visited by more magical enchanted friends that will guide her to the magical portal found in her magical treehouse. Upon going through this magical portal journey, Divinity and her forest animal friends will encounter the 7 days of God’s creation, to finally believe that all these are signs and promises of God to help us fulfill a transformation in Him. A scary encounter happens when the magical forest goes up in fire! It is here where Divinity is reminded that just like the Phoenix goes into the burning ashes to rise above and be transformed, her forest friends and her must also go through the fire! They hear the voice of God telling them to not be scared and to remember that the fire of God can purify and renew. So, they must believe in this promise, knowing that they can go through the fire and will be purified, renewed, and receive rebirth of their mind, body, and soul. It’s only then that they will experience a transformation. This is the moment when Divinity and her forest animal friends will experience beauty for ashes! Sometimes it takes going through fire, going through life failures, or breaking like an iceberg, that we can finally rise above, be created anew, be transformed and RISE like the Phoenix! “Our recital has multiple messages using fun dancing and singing, magical imagination, and fun magical characters to express that each and every one of us, unique as we were created, can receive a transformation and rise above just like the Phoenix does when we believe in the signs and wonders that God has given us!” Says Patricia Diaz, owner of P.A.T.Y.’Studio Saturday June 15 th  2024/ Doors Open 5pm/ Show at 6pm/ Hanford Fox Theater Pre-sale $20 tickets sold until June 13 th at P.A.T.Y.’Studio/ Day of Show Tickets sold at $25 cash P.A.T.Y.’Studio, 123 W. 7 th  St. Hanford, Ca., 559-410-8487
