Performed in English and Spanish, the iconic masked avenger is reimagined in a gripping new crowd-pleasing opera that fuses soaring Puccini-inspired melodies with a Latin flair, a revolutionary spirit, and swords ablaze.

Hybrid- After the Diagnosis
2025-10-24 10:00 - 15:00 | The Legacy Foundation, 360 E Coronado Rd, Phoenix, AZ, 85004, United States
When parents get a disability diagnosis for a child, they aren’t given space to process the emotions that come with a diagnosis. Most go right to work. They start calling doctors and therapists. They start scheduling appointments, and they start figuring out how to navigate different systems of care.
They do it all without the emotional support they need After the Diagnosis.
Caregivers will learn:

to find meaning in the most challenging parts of their parenting journey
their thoughts influence emotions and behaviors
to take control of their thoughts to establish a new mindset
simple tips and strategies to make time for self-care
create goals for them and their child
to identify stress before it takes over
