SUMMARY:The Blue Taffeta Party Dress & Other Stories @Char's
DESCRIPTION:The Blue Taffeta Party Dress & Other Stories @Char's\nFriday\, June 19th\, doors 6:30pm\, show 7:30-9:30pm\nwritten and performed by: Dennis Hawkins-Bogle\ndirected and staged by Heather Gordon Murphy\nin partnership with Alberni Valley Pride\n \nThe Blue Taffeta Party Dress & Other Stories is a collection of 19 autobiographical stories from my childhood in a small\, northern town\, to my life as the principal of the high school I graduated from. This is more than a coming out story. It’s a raw\, honest\, and often wry journey through the psyche\, the politics\, and the pressures of a time that had little room for difference. As a gay kid growing up in an era of silence and shame\, my voice was misrepresented\, undermined\, even sensationalized by the dominant culture. Now\, I’m setting the story straight — through moments of resilience\, humour\, heartbreak\, and hope.\n \nSPECIAL FUNDRAISER:  \nPartial proceeds will be donated to Alberni Valley Pride.
