A Raisin in the Sun

Friday, January 12
Troesh Studio Theater at The Smith Center, Las Vegas

“The play that changed American theater forever” (The New York Times), will make its way to The Smith Center in honor of the 2018 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. week celebration. Lorraine Hansberry’s play follows the Younger family yearning for a better life far from the cramped confines of their Chicago tenement. The story centers on the divergent dreams of three generations of the Younger family. The tensions and prejudice they face form this seminal American drama, and their heroic struggle to retain dignity in a harsh and changing world is a timeless portrayal of hope and inspiration.

This groundbreaking play, originally produced in 1959, was the first play written by an African American woman to be produced on Broadway, where it won the New York Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Play and starred the legendary actors Sidney Poitier and Ruby Dee. In 2014, 55 years later, a Broadway revival of this American classic garnered three Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Play.

Aerial Fitness Blood Drive

Sunday, December 3 at 9:00 AM
City Athletic Club United Blood Services Bloodmobile 7980 W. Sahara Ave. Las Vegas

Las Vegas artists unite to raise blood at the 4th annual Aerial Fitness Blood Drive with the United Blood Services.

Aerial artists, contortionists, singers, belly dancers and other performing artists will all come together to perform in Aerial Fitness’s show “Vegas Strong”. Aerial Fitness will host a community Blood drive on Sunday, December 3, 2017 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. with the United Blood Services (UBS) of Las Vegas at City Athletic Club. Shows will start every hour from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Kristi Toguchi, owner of Aerial Fitness, is hoping to raise awareness and support the blood needs in the valley by hosting a Community Blood Drive in Loving Memory of her father, Mr. Terry Toguchi.

Toguchi said “After my father passed away, I discovered that he was inducted into the Hawaii Blood Bank Wall of Fame for donating blood 142 times. Since then, creating awareness of the importance of blood donations has been a passion of mine. In my lifetime, I hope to honor him by multiplying this number by at least 10. In the recent tragic events here in Las Vegas it was a beautiful to see how many people went out of their way to donate blood to help save lives. I look forward to keeping this idea of #VegasStrong alive! And I hope you will all join me.”

All donors will receive a $10 Karma Athletics Gift Card, and be entered into a raffle with prizes from our

sponsors, and Aerial Fitness and friends will provide fun and free entertainment throughout the day.

As Southern Nevada’s community blood provider, United Blood Services relies on blood donations to

make sure blood is readily available for anyone in need. UBS currently has a need for ALL blood types,

especially O-Negative blood. O-Negative is the universal blood type and the only type that can be

transfused to patients with different blood types.

Donors are encouraged to make an appointment to give blood by calling (702)233-9620 or online at

www.unitedbloodservices.org and enter Sponsor Code: AERIAL FITNESS. You can also contact Kristi

Toguchi at (702)886-2250 for more information.
