While in D.C., Alexandra participated in a Newsies' rehearsal, performed in a Newsies production, and received backstage tours of both Arena Stage and the Capitol Dome.

Make-A-Wish creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses from the age of 2½ to 18 at the time of referral. The nonprofit organization estimates they grant the wish of a child every 34 minutes in the United States and its territories.
