“I attended Chrismas concert organized by Dr.Wright this year with my two children-ages 6.5 and 4.5.
This concert was excellent and we all enjoyed. Especially the music and the play about cell phones by Everett police was wonderfull. I look forward to attending end of this yr.
Thanks to Dr.Wright for organizing and inviting all of us.”

“Thank you for producing this wonderful show! It was so full of meaning: linking our love for the nostalgic music of the holidays and bringing forth the connection of our community in supporting both the arts and families needing our support to stay strong. Monty and his family were particularly inspiring within this context which I believe gave them the strength to move forward and give us all the blessing of gratitude. Our family was moved to donate to the Make a Wish foundation and to find continued hope, even in times of despair.”

“Dr Wright. Thank you for tonight. It was truly beautiful the way you shared Monty’s story and our Families journey through the videos, songs and dance. I cannot begin to describe how healing sharing his story and dancing in celebration was for him and all of our family.”

“Hi Sanford,
Happy New Year to you as well. Thanks for your observations on the Spectacular. Seems unanimous that the show is worthy of repeating. In fact, with the advantage of having the video of the show, you could ask directors to view and critique it. Let me know when you are coming to Seattle and we’ll make plans.”

“Happy new year! Thank you so much for letting me be a part of the show!”

“My 18 year old nephew from Holland arrived in Seattle the evening of the show, sleep-deprived and ready to crash in bed. We decided to take him to the show to start the holiday spirit. Although we were worried that he may not keep his eyes open, we were amazed how much the young Dutch boy enjoyed every second of the show. This is a testimony to how vibrant the show was. Thank you Dr. Wright and team.”

“We have performed at more than 20 charitable events in the past and this is the first time we have seen this much emphasis on production where each artist had a role to play in highlighting a story. Really well done. We are very blessed to have been part of this amazing show.”

“I just wanted to write a couple sentences about the food bank and how it has helped me in my past. With the cost of living continuously on the rise it is sometimes hard to make ends meet. Knowing that there is a food bank for such emergencies makes me feel safe and secure. I know that if I cannot afford food for the month, I can go down to the foodbank and get food for my son and myself.
The last time I went to the food bank was a couple years ago and I noticed that there was more fresh fruit and veggies than there ever had been before. I think it is important for people to be donating healthy foods. When I was younger and would go to the food bank, I remember it being a lot of processed foods packed full of preservatives and althought there isn’t much room to be picky, it is nice to see healthy foods being donated to those in need.”

“This is such wonderful news, thank you! We’re so happy to see that the event continues to receive such positive feedback. I can’t imagine how many hours, days, weeks and months go into planning the show and we’re incredibly grateful that you chose Make-A-Wish as one of your charity beneficiaries. Two very special wishes like Monty’s will be granted with the funds you’ve raised/donated.”

“The Christmas show at the Everett Auditorium was magical. The Dancers were amazing, every time they came up I stiffened in excitement and awe. The way they wafted across the floor was indescribable. And as for the hip hop dancers, I felt like this show was exactly my type, I’ve always wanted to see someone break dance and I got it… this went from indescribable to mouth-dropping. The singers though, the singers made me quiver, from head to toe, in astonishment. As the singers sang I literally melted in my seat because of the perfect intermix of loud and soft melody sung. I thought that everything was inspiring and well-thought. I would honestly rate this a five and maybe will bring my friends along with me the next show.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the Christmas Spectacular and appreciated all the talent, time and energy that it took to put on this event. I was very happy to see that proceeds went toward supporting “Make-a-Wish.” I had the pleasure to help organize an auction for COTA-Children’s Organ Transplant Association, in honor of Monty Huesca. I know how “Make-a-Wish” has also supported Monty and his family. It is a wonderful organization that has brought support and comfort during very difficult times. It warmed my heart to watch Monty perform and I could see how this helped increase his self-esteem and confidence. It was a wonderful evening that is not to be forgotten.”
