careers in Discovering at ASU Gammage the arts
By Theresa Dickerson
For a group of high school students from Sunnyslope High School, Eastmark High School, and AZ Teen Homeschool Co-op, a day at ASU Gammage became much more than just a field trip. It became an eye-opening journey into the intricate, behind-thescenes world of the arts during the national Broadway tour of KIMBERLY AKIMBO. Through the ASU Gammage School to Work program, these students got an inside look at the countless roles that keep a theater thriving. From programming and operations to development and marketing, they learned that careers in the arts are as dynamic and varied as the productions themselves.
The day began with a buzz of excitement as the students arrived, ready to trade their school bags
for a backstage pass. Michael Reed, Senior Director of Programs and Organizational Initiatives, set the tone with a warm welcome.
“For over two decades, this program has given students a chance to step into our world,” Michael shared. “Today, you’re part of the team. You’ll see what we do every day to bring the magic of theater to life.”
Students were assigned to departments—Programming, Development, Marketing, Operations and Audience Services—each offering a unique perspective on the unsung heroes of the arts.
In the operations department, the students quickly realized that this job was anything but
routine. From filling the stage with sand and water to crafting props like jelly bean candles, creativity and adaptability were key. Miranda, a student from Eastmark, was captivated: “This is not a desk job, and I love that! They even make sure their team members feel comfortable, like not assigning heights work to people who aren’t okay with it.” For Miranda, this hands-on problemsolving felt like exactly the kind of job she’d want someday.
Over in marketing, students got a crash course in creativity and strategy. They explored everything from glossy brochures to social media campaigns. Split into teams, they crafted their own social media strategies, using teamwork and innovation to imagine how to promote future productions.
Students presenting on what they learned at School to Work.
The programming team revealed the behind-the-scenes magic of curating a season. Students watched a video that broke down the selection process, discovering the layers of decision-making that go into booking a show.
In development, students explored the heart of donor relationships. Megan Loponen, ASU Gammage Donor Relations Coordinator, fielded sharp questions like, “What happens if a donor stops giving?” Her response was practical yet empathetic, explaining how they maintain connections through calls, reminders, or even just checking in to see if someone’s situation has changed. For the students, it was a glimpse into the blend of personal connection and strategy that fuels this work.
Meanwhile, the audience services group learned that their role is about more than just tickets— it’s about making every guest’s experience seamless. They learned about ticketing, and what it takes to make the front of the house experience the best possible. Sienna, a student from the Homeschool Co-op, said, “I’m
“My mom always tells me there are jobs you never see but are so important. Today, I finally understood what she meant.”
— LOGAN, EASTMARK HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT
learning so much of this role is problem-solving. It’s really about teamwork and quick thinking.”
After more than an hour immersed in their respective departments, the students reconvened to present their findings. They applauded and supported one another as students from each department group shared their discoveries from the day. Students then had the exciting opportunity to engage with Access ASU, where they received valuable tips and strategies to prepare for college. The session included a Q&A, allowing students to ask questions and access essential resources. The goal is to inspire these students to become future Sun Devils, now equipped with the tools to navigate the journey to higher education.
The day’s highlight was an inspiring session with the company and crew of the national Broadway tour of KIMBERLY AKIMBO. From set design to managing the complexities of a touring production, each team member shared unique insights into their role. They spoke openly
about their favorite moments and the challenges of their work, leaving students inspired, curious and eager to learn more.
“There are so many jobs outside of acting, stage managing, and tech that I didn’t even know existed,” said Logan, a student from Eastmark High School. “It gives me hope because I love musical theater, and even if acting doesn’t work out, I know there are so many other opportunities for me to succeed in this field.”
Logan found the experience both grounding and inspiring.
“My mom always tells me there are jobs you never see but are so important. Today, I finally understood what she meant.”
The day concluded with an unforgettable reward: tickets to see KIMBERLY AKIMBO live at ASU Gammage. For many, it was their first time seeing a show at the iconic theater.
“I’ve never even heard of this musical until last week, but I’m so excited,” Logan said.
As the curtain rose, it was clear that the ASU Gammage staff who participated in the School to Work program had done more than just introduce students to careers in the arts—they lit a spark. Whether the students find themselves in careers in marketing, development, operations or center stage, they now have a deeper understanding of the possibilities that await them at the theater.

Witnessing Truth Transformative Art Howard’s in Zora
By Arianna Jones
Zora Howard is a dynamic and fearless artist whose work bridges the worlds of poetry, playwriting and performance with profound emotional resonance. Born and raised in Harlem, Howard uses storytelling as a means of reckoning with history, identity and the complexities of Black life as she navigates the world as a Black woman.
After discovering poetry in her adolescence, Howard developed her voice in Slam poetry competitions. She became the youngest winner of the Urban Word NYC Grand Slam and later named the inaugural NYC Youth Poet Laureate. Poetry allowed Howard to process her experiences and emotions. “Writing is how I make sense, how I know how to put one foot in front of the other,” she shared. “This is the way that I can walk in the world.”
Telling stories beyond herself became a passion as Howard pursued her career crafting transformative works. “I started to create narratives that included other characters; it became conversations instead of monologues,” she said. Naturally, poems evolved into plays and productions while dissecting the uncomfortable truths about race, violence and societal complicity.
Awarded a Pulitzer Prize-finalist in 2021, Howard’s play “Stew” confronts the generational trauma, resilience and the bonds that both hold families together and challenge them. After the murder of twelve-year-old Tamir Rice, Howard couldn’t stop thinking about how the lives of his family were violently interrupted by the injustice. “I started writing poems about that day, imagining how someone might have been at their cousin’s house getting their hair done or sent to the laundromat
by their mother,” she said. “It’s about the moments we often take for granted—the kitchen, the family, the shared experiences that hold so much weight.”
Howard’s artistry is deeply rooted in her commitment to giving voice to the voiceless, imagining the lives behind headlines and histories that are often reduced to fleeting mentions. Society tends to move on swiftly after tragedies, Howard uses her work to honor the lives taken too soon and to reminisce on their unique humanity. “It’s not about reminiscing on how bad things were—it’s about seeing how these stories are still here, right now, today,” she reflected.
Howard’s latest play HANG TIME was inspired by the brief, haunting declaration of two men who were lynched in the summer of 2020. “I was looking at a list of names of those killed unjustly and came across one line at the bottom
It’s not about reminiscing on how bad things were—it’s about seeing how these stories are still here, right now, today.” “
— ZORA HOWARD
about these two men,” she said. “It was jarring how their death was reduced to one line and that was it.” While not a biography, the genesis of the play came from her imagining what their lives may have been. “We meet them at their end, but I think about that moment right before—these are human beings with dreams, regrets, hopes and desires.”
HANG TIME invites audiences into an intimate, immersive experience, with the set designed to seat the audience as close to the show as possible. “There is no lynching without a witness,” Howard explains, emphasizing the role of the audience in confronting public violence and its historical and contemporary implications. HANG TIME compels viewers to engage with these truths and examine their
own positions as witnesses—and the choice to look or not to look.
HANG TIME challenges audiences to reflect on the duality of these choices and their consequences.
“You walk into the theater, and it’s right there. You have to look at it or choose not to look at it, and either decision requires a reckoning,” she explains.
By centering this duality, HANG TIME transforms the theater into a space for communal reflection and accountability. Through innovative staging and raw, poetic dialogue, the play invites viewers to consider the weight of public violence and the humanity often lost in its aftermath. “The play starts when you walk into the theater. It’s all part of the storytelling—every detail, every moment matters,” she said.
Howard’s work illustrates the discourse often gone unsaid about racially charged struggles in America. It draws parallels to both the historical and contemporary traumas that the Black community faces and reveals that these moments aren’t so far removed from one another. “This is not about shock value. It’s about creating a space where we all must face these truths together, “ she echoed.
In presenting HANG TIME on April 19, ASU Gammage continues its tradition of offering groundbreaking works that celebrate diverse voices and push the boundaries of traditional storytelling.
“Zora Howard’s work has a way of reaching into your soul and leaving a lasting mark,” said Colleen Jennings-Roggensack, Vice President of Cultural Affairs and Executive Director of ASU Gammage. “HANG TIME is no exception. It’s a production that promises to challenge, inspire, and move every audience member.”
Bonding over Broadway
By Heather Fuentes
Carol Guimarin Warstler is a new and generous donor to ASU Gammage. Together with her 16-year-old granddaughter Savoya, she shared how she got involved with one of the Valley’s most prominent performing arts organizations.
Having spent the last 13 years in Arizona, Carol’s introduction to ASU Gammage came through her close friends and fellow donors, the Appell family. Thanks to the inspirational work of the late Jerry Appell, ASU Gammage designated an award after him that honors others who have gone above and beyond to connect the arts to the Arizona community and support ASU Gammage. “These are the Gammy and Jerry Awards... I was privileged to be a part of that event last year,” Carol recounts. It was this initial exposure that sparked her interest in the organization.
Together with the performing arts events she has enjoyed in the past, it was a natural fit for her.
For Carol, the decision to become a donor to ASU Gammage was not just about seeing shows, but also about the organization’s impact on the community. “I just like everything about ASU. I think it’s a great school, and to be a part of that and help support it is meaningful to me,” she explains, noting that her son had previously worked at the Pat Tillman Center on the ASU campus. “I want to see children do and be the best they can be, and I like that ASU Gammage is so involved with ASU, being on the campus.”
Mother to two sons, Carol moved to the Valley after living and owning a business in Colorado for many years. “I had a home here and one there, but finally decided to make
this home. I was ready for sunnier weather and was over the cold!”
Granddaughter Savoya feels differently about the desert having grown up here most of her life and has plans to attend college somewhere near a beach. “Right now, we are looking at U Miami and Pepperdine,” she says. Savoya lives less than ten minutes from Grandma Carol and enjoys how close this has let them become over the years. She lights up when talking about how she has been a witness to her grandmother’s generosity and passion for the arts. “She’s one of my favorite people in the whole world,” Savoya says, nearly bringing Carol to tears. “Even when I was little, I have always loved spending time with her, and as I’ve gotten older, I realized just how much of an amazing person she is (and not just an amazing grandma). I

didn’t think it was possible, but I love her even more, and it really inspires me.” Savoya’s love for the performing arts has inspired her grandmother in return and is being nurtured by her grandmother’s influence. “I’ve always liked musical theater, despite an inability to sing,” Savoya laughs. “I stayed up late to watch HAMILTON when it dropped on Disney+! I saw HAMILTON when it came to ASU Gammage a few years back, and that was the first time that I really saw a musical live, and I loved it.”
Thanks to Savoya’s interests, Carol was drawn to give even more. “It’s actually one of the main reasons I wanted to support and get involved with ASU Gammage. Savoya loves Sabrina Carpenter, Taylor Swift and Harry Styles — and I love that, but I also want her to be exposed to the performing arts. I want her to see the world and be exposed to the things that I wasn’t exposed to growing up. I know how much she loves theater, and I thought it would be a great place for us to get involved together.” Next on their bucket list is the Santa Fe Opera, which they hope to attend next year.
Having made her home in Phoenix and feeling strongly about caring for her community, Carol’s philanthropic efforts extend
“I want to see children do and be the best they can be, and I like that ASU Gammage is so involved with ASU, being on the campus.
—CAROL GUIMARIN WARSTLER
beyond theater. Following the loss of her husband after his battle with Alzheimer’s, she is deeply moved to donate to organizations across the Valley who show families the type of support she received in his last days. Carol is passionate about supporting organizations like Hospice of the Valley and Barrow Neurological Institute. “Organizations like these help families going through the struggles that end-of-life memory care can bring. When my husband passed, he left me well-off, so I feel I should pass that along to others.” she says. Next year, she plans to become more involved with the American
Heart Association’s Heart Ball. She also supports organizations like Childhelp Arizona, an organization devoted to protecting children and strengthening families.
As her granddaughter Savoya looks towards her future, she hopes to continue to share great memories at the theater with her grandmother. Next, the pair are excited for WICKED “I saw the movie and have been listening to the soundtrack nonstop” says Savoya. They also enjoy spending quality time catching up with friends in the VIP Lounge at ASU Gammage.
As a new donor to the organization, Carol is excited to give opportunities to children through her giving. “I am excited to support young people’s exposure to the arts. I believe it’s incredibly important to a child’s life.” She prides herself in being an example with her granddaughter and encourages others to become financially supportive of ASU Gammage too. Sharing the impact of being a donor alongside her granddaughter is what she truly finds priceless.

Did you know?
40% 32%
of very eatable food that is produced in the country and labored over and harvested goes right to the landfill . This can be diverted by food banks and Emergency Food Systems.
The earliest form of food stamps was piloted during World War II because 30–40% of draftees were rejected due to malnutrition
Malnutrition was actually a matter of national security in World War II. The government began to pilot the subsidy coupons to ensure draftees had their strength for war.
The average SNAP benefit for a meal is only $2.03 per meal.
Could you put together a full month of meals on an average of $2.03/meal or would you need help from another source a.k.a the food bank?
of Arizona State University students who live in the dorms say they have inconsistent access to food.
During the course of Kristina Wong’s residency at ASU Gammage, she has been researching and embedding herself in the work to expose the reality of food insecurity. In her upcoming show #FoodBankInfluencer, Wong pulls back the curtain on what it means to have limited access to food and the systems in place that create such barriers. At her show on April 5, hear the historical origin story of the facts above and more!
I've been learning about grocery stores and their distribution, and they are very much a business which is why some areas like the Navajo reservation don't have a lot of grocery stores, they are not profitable for them to be there. As a result, you have food apartheid which is a scary word, a less scary word (and more common) is food desert,” Wong shared.

The stories are crafted by and for people with no connection to the scientific world, seasoned scientists and everyone within that broad spectrum.
Founded in 2010, Story Collider is widely known for its acclaimed weekly podcast, praised by The Washington Post as “delightful, devastating and endlessly listenable.” Story Collider brings together oral storytelling
and science to showcase the profound, surprising and often emotional connections between science and everyday life.
“These transformative stories reveal the vibrant role that science plays in all of our lives, no matter who we are, and inspire audiences to reflect on the science at work in their own lives,” said Story Collider Executive Director and co-founder Erin Barker. “We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to explore the many ways science has influenced and shaped the lives of Phoenix residents.”
Story Collider debuted in Phoenix in 2024, partnering with the Arizona Science Center. That event featured a physics professor recounting his experience teaching astronomy to monks, an electrical engineer sharing how her nerdy passion led her to love, and a neuroscientist reflecting on defending his doctoral thesis.
“We’re honored to collaborate with Story Collider. Both their organization and ASU Kerr’s Gather Storytelling series share a deep commitment to storytelling and inclusivity,” said ASU Kerr General Manager Tracey Mason.
Hosting and organizing the Phoenix edition of Story Collider are two accomplished storytelling scientists: Raj Sivaraman and Saad Sarwana. Sivaraman is a writer, comedian, and research scientist who has been performing comedy and storytelling since 2008. Sarwana, a physicist, engineer and comedian, has over 25 years of experience touring comedy clubs across the country. A four-time winner of The Moth’s StorySLAM in Phoenix, Sarwana emphasizes the power of storytelling to bridge connections.
“Our personal connections are made through stories,” said Sarwana. “If you want people to make a connection with science, there is no better way than the Story Collider.”
More details about the event, the hosts and Story Collider’s mission can be found at storycollider.org/ phoenix. Tickets are $15 and on sale now at asukerr.com

ASU 365 Community Union mural program celebrates diversity through student art
Do you know any current ASU students with an interest in art?
Tell them to leave an artistic legacy at the heart of Sun Devil Nation. With support from CocaCola, ASU 365 Community Union invites all ASU students of any major to submit proposals for the Coca-Cola Community Art mural program. One student will be selected this spring to create a new mural inside Mountain America Stadium that will remain visible during special events and football games for the 25–26 season.
Guided by a mission of Connecting Communities, the ASU 365 Community Union initiative builds creative and meaningful programming for the communities it serves including Sun Devil students, ASU departments and the surrounding community. The Coca-Cola Community Art program offers a unique opportunity to share creativity with thousands of fans and leave a lasting impact on the ASU community. The
selected student artist will receive a $4,000 award and the privilege of having their mural displayed for an entire year.
In 2024, the first Student Artist title was awarded to Serena Teng. Serena is an international student studying in painting and drawing & art education. Before college, she had more than 10 years of art experience and 6 years of professional art education. Serena works with multiple mediums including: acrylic, digital art, oil pastels, graphite, ink, and her favorite: charcoal and watercolor.
Through her Coca-Cola design, Serena incorporates the theme “global culture” by creating a work that shows cultural items, clothing, or patterns that represent countries from all over the world. As ASU has such a diverse community, Serena wanted to show the happiness and joy of sharing different cultures through the colors and intricate details. Some of the images in her mural include Desi accessories
(India), Chinese traditional kites and fireworks, Venetian Masks (Italy), Hispanic women wearing the Huipil (Mexico), Greek pole with ceramic, African Fabric patterns and more.
“I was so honored to be able to have this opportunity,” said Serena in an interview with ASU 365 Community Union. “This is a great opportunity to show school spirit and also contribute to the community!”
Outside of special events, Serena’s artwork is accessible for the public to appreciate during the stadium open hours program, which opens up Sun Devil Stadium to the public Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. (excluding game days and special event days).
Tell your Sun Devil Students to submit proposals and be a part of the vibrant history with ASU 365 Community Union and Mountain America Stadium. Proposals must be submitted on March 23, 2025 by 11:59 p.m. (local AZ time).
You can learn more about the call for artists, stadium open hours and more at asu365.events
