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.

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Mr. Burton” showing April 24-29 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

“Mr. Burton” was the winner of the Directors’ Choice Award for Best Feature Film Drama at the recent Sedona International Film Festival.

"Mr. Burton" tells the true story of the relationship between Port Talbot schoolmaster Philip Burton and a wild young schoolboy called Richard Jenkins, the son of a wayward drunk.

Richard dreamed of becoming an actor, but his ambitions were in danger of being derailed by a combination of family trouble, the pressure of war, and his own lack of discipline.

Mr. Burton recognized the raw talent in his pupil, becoming his tutor, strict taskmaster and eventually his adoptive father. And Richard Jenkins is transformed into Richard Burton — Wales's greatest star.

“Mr. Burton” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre April 24-29. Showtimes will be Friday, Saturday, Tuesday and Wednesday, April 24, 25, 28 and 29 at 3:30 p.m.; and Sunday and Monday, April 26 and 27 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.

The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to continue the 2026 season of its Sedona Professional Theatre Company with “The Belle of Amherst” live on stage at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre, running April 24-26.

“The Belle of Amherst” — written by William Luce — stars Tarah Flanagan and is directed by Chris Mixon.

"The Belle of Amherst" is a play based on the life of Emily Dickinson.

In her Amherst, Massachusetts home, the reclusive nineteenth-century poet Emily Dickinson recollects her past through her work, her diaries and letters, and a few encounters with significant people in her life. William Luce’s classic play shows us both the pain and the joy of Dickinson’s secluded life.

Recent directing credits include As You Like It, No Child, and An Iliad (Great River Shakespeare Festival), Christmas at Pemberley (Utah State University), and An Iliad (co-director) PCPA and the Cleveland Play House. Tarah adapted and co-produced The Yellow Wallpaper for Actors Theatre of Louisville, co-produced/choreographed Darwin the Series, directed by Carrie Preston, and served as the dialect coach for the world premiere of Imbroglio by Melissa Maxwell at the Great River Shakespeare Festival.
