Sherry and Bob Jason met as attorneys in the Public Defender's Office working in the Juvenile Court. They founded City Hearts in 1984 on the belief the arts are the most powerful tools to communicate with and rehabilitate troubled youth at risk of becoming involved with gangs and drugs. The organization has worked with more than 25,000 children since its inception and now serves more than 500 children per week, ages five to 18, with free after-school and weekend classes in drama, dance, photography, musical theatre, fabric arts, playwriting and Shakespeare.

Tickets are $75 for adults, $25 for children.
