Wicked at SA Life Academy
By Leslie Foley
SA Life Academy’s 2025 Off Broadway Gala defied gravity! Greeted with Glinda-pink and Elphaba-green signature cocktails, guests entered the whimsically decorated faraway land of Oz — designed by the artistic Dr. Dacia Napier, who was also the evening’s honoree. Since 2022, she has designed exquisite table centerpieces and over-the-top decorations for the Gala, establishing a beloved tradition that supporters eagerly anticipate each year.
Nearly 600 guests donning their requisite green and pink ensembles enjoyed the unforgettable night in the Emerald City within the Land of Oz. Proceeds supported SA Life Academy’s mission of providing learning opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
