Good morning, Queen Creek.

After a 25-year career in corporate America, Cheryl Standage launched Queen Creek’s PIEfection—drawing on family recipes learned from her mother and grandmother—to bring a taste of tradition to local customers.

She plans to offer homemade pies that connect her cherished past with her new future in business.

East Valley Children's Theatre’s production of Alice in Wonderland opened on June 12 at Mesa Arts Center and will run until June 22—drawing on inspirations from Miyazaki and Jim Henson to offer a bold, modern twist on the classic tale with a cast of 39 local youth.

Shows are scheduled for Thursday at 7 p.m., Friday at 7 p.m., Saturday at 4 p.m. and 7 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m., with tickets priced at $24.25.

SRP is offering two free shade trees to current electric customers who join a virtual workshop, have legal planting rights, and call 811 before planting, with choices including Palo Verde, Native Mesquite, Thornless Mesquite, Willow Acacia, Desert Willow, or Lilac Chaste (workshops are set for 10 a.m. Saturday, June 28, noon Thursday, July 24, and 10 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23). The shade trees will help reduce indoor temperatures, lower energy use by up to 25%, and support local biodiversity.
