The Diamonds and Denim Dinner Theatre is Youth & Family Services’ annual, two-night event put on to raise funds for its eight comprehensive programs which serve more than 14,000 children and families throughout 24 counties in western South Dakota each year.
This featured event, now in its 14th year of operation, provides its guests with a sensational meal and an evening full of fun and entertainment. A silent auction is also conducted each evening. YFS’ silent auction boasts a wide variety of items including gift certificates to local restaurants and businesses, artwork from both local and national artists, jewelry, experience packages, unique toys for children, and much more!
The 14th annual Diamonds and Denim Dinner Theatre will take place on February 8 and 9, 2019 at our 120 E. Adams Street facility.
Our featured entertainer for this year’s event is Craig Karges, who is truly extraordinary! The “extraordinist” is an award-winning entertainer, a nationally recognized speaker and an author. Karges has made over five thousand appearances in 22 countries on four continents and in all fifty states.
Craig Karges combines the art of magic with the science of psychology and the power of intuition to create the impression that nothing is impossible. Tables float, minds are read, metal bends and your imagination is challenged because you won’t believe your eyes!
Craig Karges has made over 40 national television appearances. You’ve seen him on The Tonight Show as well as CNN, Fox News Channel, CNBC, E! Entertainment Television, Lifetime Television, Wisdom Television and even SOAPnet!
Craig Karges says that he does not possess supernatural powers, nor does he claim to perform as a psychic or a magician. While he acknowledges that he is an entertainer, and showmanship plays a role in what he does, he insists that he does not prearrange anything with members of the audience. Skeptical? The extraordinist offers $100,000, payable to charity, if anyone can prove he uses stooges or confederates from the audience to accomplish his demonstrations.
“No matter where I perform, I try to make my audiences feel they are a part of something they have never experienced before and hopefully will never forget. My goal is to entertain my audiences through the creation of mystery and to open their minds to unlimited possibilities,” says Karges.
