🌟 The Blue Taffeta Party Dress & Other Stories @ Char's 🌟

Join us for an evening that promises to be both poignant and entertaining!

Written and performed by Dennis Hawkins-Bogle and directed by Heather Gordon Murphy, this performance dives deep into 19 autobiographical stories that capture the essence of growing up in a small northern town to becoming a high school principal. This is more than just a coming-out tale; it's a heartfelt exploration filled with resilience, humor, and hope—challenging the societal norms of the past.

As part of this special event, partial proceeds will be donated to Alberni Valley Pride.
