When crisis strikes in Yavapai County—often without warning—the Arizona Crisis Team is there. Now, this vital nonprofit is calling on compassionate community members to step forward as a new round of volunteer training begins April 11.

The Arizona Crisis Team (ACT) provides free, around-the-clock emotional, practical, and resource support to individuals and families facing some of the most difficult moments of their lives. Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, ACT volunteers respond at the request of emergency agencies to scenes involving deaths, attempted suicides, sexual assaults, domestic violence, fires, serious accidents, medical emergencies, and other traumatic events.

While police officers and firefighters focus on public safety, medical care, and fire suppression, ACT volunteers focus on people—offering calm, compassionate support when it is needed most. Their presence allows families and individuals in crisis to begin regaining a sense of control after tragedy, with services delivered respectfully and with sensitivity to cultural and individual differences.

Local first responders say the impact of ACT’s work cannot be overstated. Volunteers themselves describe the work as challenging—but deeply meaningful. Many say it is a privilege to help people navigate both the emotional shock and practical realities of what may be the worst day of their lives.

ACT volunteers commit to three 12-hour shifts per month, scheduled at their convenience, serving either the Greater Prescott (west) or Sedona–Verde Valley (east) chapters. Although volunteers are expected to respond within five minutes of a call, they are free to continue normal activities while on standby. Emergency personnel remain on scene, and ACT dispatchers provide additional support by phone. Ongoing encouragement and training are also offered through monthly meetings and shared experiences with fellow volunteers.

Training takes place over three weekend days in Prescott Valley and prepares volunteers to respond effectively to a wide range of emotional and logistical needs in the community. Those interested in making a real difference can learn more and apply by visiting azcrisisteam.org. For the right person, this is more than volunteering—it’s a chance to be a steady presence when it matters most.

We invite you to volunteer at Riordan Mansion State Historic Park!

The duplex-style Riordan Mansion remains one of the finest examples of American Arts and Crafts-
style architecture open to the public today. Designed by the architect of the impressive El Tovar Hotel
at the Grand Canyon, Charles Whittlesey, the homes were built in 1904 with indoor plumbing, hot
and cold running water, central heat, and electric lights, reflecting the most modern technology and
design of the time.
Seen by guided tour only, the interiors of the Riordan family homes look essentially as they did in 1904.
The homes showcase original family belongings including fine examples of early Stickley furniture.

Volunteer opportunities available include Front Desk, Interpretive Tours, Grounds and Maintenance services.

Help us preserve history, learn and share the story of Flagstaff.

Contact the Park at 928-779-4395 for more information.

Celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the birth of Queen Elizabeth II on Tuesday, April 21 when the Sedona International Film Festival hosts the big screen encore of the acclaimed British stage production “The Audience”. There will be two shows at 3:00 and 7:00 p.m. at the festival’s Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

Returning to cinemas for the first time in over a decade, Academy Award, Golden Globe, Tony and Emmy-winner Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in the Olivier and Tony Award-winning hit production “The Audience”, directed by Stephen Daldry.

For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron, the Queen advised her prime ministers on matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch.

Peter Morgan’s Netflix phenomenon “The Crown” was based on this hit play that was captured live from London’s West End in 2013 and went on to become one of the most-watched NT Live productions.

“Funny and truthful, good-hearted, spiky, full of surprises. I loved every minute.” — The Times

“Helen Mirren rules in this engaging and humanizing retrospective.” — Time Out New York

“To the surprise of exactly no one, Helen Mirren is absolutely terrific.” — New York Post

“Royally entertaining.” — Variety

“The Audience” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Tuesday, April 21 at 3:00 and 7:00 p.m. Tickets are $15 general admission, or $13 for Film Festival members. Tickets are available in advance at the Sedona International Film Festival office or by calling 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Jimmy & The Demons” showing April 17-23 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

For six decades, Jimmy Grashow's intricate woodcuts and fantastical sculptures have graced museums and galleries, iconic album covers and over a thousand publications. As Jimmy approaches 80, he is given the commission of a lifetime — The Cathedral — that proves to be both exhilarating and daunting.

As he obsessively carves his magnum opus, Jimmy searches for the meaning behind this profound and sacred piece to which he devotes every moment. But life is full of surprises and Jimmy is faced with a difficult decision. Navigating through the unexpected twists and turns with humor and trepidation, he experiences the true agony and ecstasy of being an artist.

“Jimmy & The Demons” is an unforgettable reminder that life can be a chaotic struggle, but the power of love, kindness and courage is undeniable.

“Jimmy & The Demons” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre April 17-23. Showtimes will be Friday and Saturday, April 17 and 18 at 3:30 p.m.; and Sunday, Monday and Thursday, April 19, 20 and 23 at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.
