Help Support Thai Heart During Their Time of Need

If you live in Scotts Valley, you already know that Thai Heart is more than a restaurant. It is a place filled with warmth, kindness, and food that comes straight from the heart. Owners Richie and Sarah have been a beloved part of our community for years, the kind of neighbors who bring us extra fruit just to share. They quietly show up when people need them most. During the CZU fires, they didn’t hesitate for a moment before jumping in to cook for firefighters and evacuees, feeding anyone who needed comfort in a difficult time. We've heard a few stories of children coming there when their parent were late for a pick-up; it's a beloved safe space with the BEST people.
Now, Thai Heart needs us.

This past week, Richie underwent an emergency surgery to remove a tumor from his brain. It was sudden and frightening, and the recovery ahead is long. As Richie heals, Sarah is doing everything she can to care for him while also carrying the weight of the business on her shoulders. Normally, Richie runs the front of the house and greets everyone with his warm smile while Sarah works her magic in the kitchen. Without Richie by her side, and with the emotional strain of his recovery, they are facing a heartbreaking and overwhelming moment.

Scotts Valley High School Drama Department is extremely proud to present: The Importance of Being Earnest!

Two young gents have taken to bending the truth in order to put some excitement into their lives. Mr. Jack Worthing has invented a brother, Earnest, whom he uses as an excuse to leave his dull life behind to visit Gwendoline, his bride-to-be and daughter of rich socialite, Lady Bracknell. His best friend, Algernon Moncrieff, decides to take the name Earnest too, when visiting Worthing's young and beautiful ward, Cecily.

Things start to go awry when they end up together in the country and their deceptions are discovered!

First performance is Thursday, December 4th.
