11th Annual Tea Party Fundraiser 2026:
A "Matilda" Celebration!
"Somewhere inside all of us is the power to change the world."
Marina Youth Arts invites you to an afternoon of magic, music, and community at our 11th Annual Tea Party Fundraiser. This year, we are transforming the room into the world of Roald Dahl’s Matilda Jr.! Guests will enjoy an exclusive sneak peek performance by our talented student cast. It’s the perfect way to see exactly what your support builds for the youth of Marina.
Celebrating 20 Years of Heart: Nancy Amadeo
The highlight of our afternoon will be honoring our beloved Co-Founder, Nancy Amadeo. Nancy has dedicated over 20 years of tireless service to our board and our children. We invite you to join us in showering her with the appreciation she deserves for two decades of making the arts accessible to all.
