"Cyrano’s’ Legacy & The Power of The Arts to Entertain, Enrich, and Transform"
Cyrano’s Theatre Co-founder Sandy Harper
Sandy Harper, with her late husband, actor and director Jerry Harper, co-founded Cyrano’s in 1987. Five years later, they launched Cyrano’s Off Center Playhouse as the home of Eccentric Theatre Company … later known as Cyrano’s Theatre Company. Sandy is now Cyrano’s’ producing artistic director emerita, and the legacy and impact of the Harpers’ efforts to create an artistic community are captured in her newly published memoir, The Little Theatre That Could and Did. Sandy has served as president of the Anchorage Cultural Council, and on the boards of the Last Frontier Theatre Conference (now the Valdez Theatre Conference), the Anchorage Downtown Partnership, the Rasmuson Foundation, and the Anchorage Downtown Association. Among the numerous honors she has received are an honorary Doctor of Letters from the University of Alaska Anchorage, the Contribution to Literacy Award, recognitions by the Soroptimist Society for advancing women in the arts and as a YWCA Notable Woman of the Year, the Lorene Harrison Lifetime Achievement Award, and induction into both the Athena Society and the Alaska Women's Hall of Fame.

"Religious Exploration Appreciation Day"
Jenn Bluntach, the RE Team and Rev. Lise
As we come to the end of the church year, we want to celebrate all the things our
children have learned and how our community has helped them throughout the year.
We’ll acknowledge our RE Teachers and we’ll check in on how our children have done
with their stewardship challenge of creating more with the $5 they were given at our
Stewardship Service in January. RE is only possible with all of us, and for that we are
very thankful! Celebrate with a Soup Sunday after the service, too.
