Curt treats the blank page as a mini-theater, a place where narratives unfold as a drawing takes shape. From a group of random forms, what once appeared to be a pillow on a bed may prove to be a valiant knight, saving a child from monsters.
Bring the kids, ages 3 to 14, to the Arizona Sunrays Gymnastics Center where they’ll get to enjoy an exciting evening of gymnastics, dance, organized games, sports, jumping in a bounce house and on trampolines, obstacle courses, and then wind down the evening by watching a movie. The Kids’ Night Out is from 6 to 10 p.m. Cost is $30 per child with a $5 off sibling discount. Pizza, snacks and drinks are included. Advanced registration is required. $5 fee for same-day registration. There’s also easy online registration.
