The March 8th Benefit at the Elgin Club “The World Is A Stage” raised over $1300 for the Our Lady of the Angel Church Building Fund. The evening started with a wonderful Mexican meal catered by La Vista de Sonoita, and then continued with the stage show. The evening was a musical journey around the world through song and dance, with Suzanne Klasen providing the vocals and the Alma Dolores Dancers, including Sean and Savannah Klasen, providing the footwork. Suzanne even joined them for the Mexican Folklorico dances.

Klasen sang songs from many different Broadway shows including Cats, Evita, Les Miserables, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Oklahoma and South Pacific. The dancers performed Flamenco, Irish, Polynesian, Hip Hop, Clogging and Mexican dances. Audience members commented that enjoyed Suzanne’s singing, and loved the costumes and energy of the show.

Some of the other parish members are interested in having Suzanne perform another show in Patagonia in September or October to help raise money for the church’s general fund. Suzanne is excited about another opportunity to volunteer her time to help out her church community.
