Parlando School of Musical Arts

What a summer we've had so far! 🎭✨

Our first performances of the 2026 season— The SpongeBob Musical and W***y Wonka Jr.— were a huge success, and none of it would have been possible without the support of our 2026 Theatrical Season Sponsor, JenStuckeyHome! .stuckey.realtor

We are so grateful to Jennifer Stuckey for believing in the arts and in our community. In honor of her incredible support, we're proud to highlight JenStuckeyHome as our June Preferred Vendor. Here's a note from Jennifer herself...

"As JenStuckeyHome continues to support Parlando School of Musical Arts, I'm grateful for the opportunity to give back to our community. I also have some exciting professional news to share: I was recently elected Northeast District Vice President for the Colorado Association of REALTORS®, with my official term beginning in December 2027.

This opportunity reflects my commitment to serving not only my clients but also the real estate profession through leadership, education, and advocacy. Staying actively involved at the state level helps me remain informed about industry trends, market changes, and issues that impact homeowners throughout Colorado.

At JenStuckeyHome, Warm Relationships. Smart Strategy. Exceptional Results. isn't just a tagline— it's how I approach every client relationship. Whether you're considering a move, planning for the future, or simply curious about today's market, I'm always happy to be a trusted resource.

Thank you for your continued support and trust. I look forward to helping you achieve your real estate goals."

Whether you're buying, selling, or just curious about the market— Jennifer is the one to call. 🏡
