FutureView Multimedia, in partnership with the Sedona International Film Festival, present the Tech Savvy for Seniors workshop on Saturday, July 19 at 11:00 a.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.

Are you ready to feel more confident using your smart device to support your health and well-being? Join us for a friendly, hands-on workshop designed especially for seniors who want to learn how to safely explore and use medical and wellness apps on their smart devices.

Whether you bring a laptop, tablet or smartphone it’s welcome! During this session, we’ll guide you step by step through the process of installing and updating helpful apps that can track medications, manage doctor appointments, monitor heart health, or even remind you to stay hydrated. We’ll demo some of today’s most useful health tools and show you how to use them with confidence.

This isn’t a lecture, it’s a conversation. You’ll have time to ask questions, get satisfying answers and even follow along with your own device in hand. No rushing, no jargon, and no such thing as a silly question — just a supportive space where you can learn at your pace, with others who are doing the same. Our goal is to help you feel more in control of your health by using the tech you already have.

So, bring your curiosity, your smart device, and maybe even a friend. This workshop is practical, encouraging, and surprisingly fun—because when you understand your tools, using them becomes a whole lot easier. So, Let’s Tech About It!

Tickets are $30 in advance; $35 at the door. To order by phone, 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 and to order tickets online, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.

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.

Join us under the stars at Lowell Observatory for two unforgettable productions that showcase the full range of Shakespearean theatre—from heartbreaking tragedy to side-splitting comedy.

KING LEAR
A storm is coming. Power, betrayal, madness, and love collide in Shakespeare’s monumental tragedy. King Lear cuts to the heart of human nature, revealing raw truth through every betrayal and heartbreak. Performed with our signature Original Staging Practices, this is Shakespeare as you’ve never seen it.

THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (abridged) [revised] [again]
Three actors. Thirty-seven plays. Ninety minutes. This fast, funny, and wildly entertaining crash course in the entire Shakespeare canon is perfect for the whole family—even if you’ve never seen a Shakespeare play before. It’s quick, it’s absurd, and it’s a blast.

Performances run July 10 through August 4 under the festival tent at Lowell Observatory.
Tickets are on sale now at www.FlagShakes.org/tickets. Senior, student, and family discounts available.

Bring a blanket, grab a snack, and experience Shakespeare where it was meant to be: live, electric, and right under the stars.

See you at the tent!

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “The Other” showing July 19-23 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

Filmed from 2017-2024, including post-October 7th and during the subsequent war, “The Other” focuses on Israeli and Palestinian peace builders, anti-occupation activists, artists, academics, ex-fighters, bereaved parents and many more living the reality on the ground.

Whether in non-violent co-resistance, peace-building, or shared community, we witness those who have only known each other through hate, bloodshed, inequality, and war, transcend beyond narratives and belief systems. They teach us that unlearning deep-seated conditioning is possible and that we can liberate ourselves from generational trauma, hatred and fear — no matter how ingrained and legitimate those fears are.

In the face of such atrocities and polarization, “The Other” showcases another reality, an entire ecosystem of peace builders and activists in Israel-Palestine working together towards a better future.

“The Other” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre July 19-23. Showtimes will be Saturday, Sunday and Monday, July 19, 20 and 21 at 3:30 p.m.; and Tuesday and Wednesday, July 22 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.
