Today is the last chance to see this crew. Give yourself the gift of laughter and be amazed at their acting skills. $10 cash gets you a seat at Lakewood alliance church. Doors open at 6:30 and the play starts promptly at seven. Tartuffe!!

The stage is set! Great drama doesn't have to be expensive! My senior drama students at Cedars have a great comedy for you -- this weekend only! $10/ticket Fri/Sat/Sun 2/21-2/23. Great date night. I promise you'll laugh at the smart humor!! :) Venue is Lakewood Alliance Church. Worth the price of a sitter! Get tickets at orders.cedars.bc.ca or cash at the door. Lots of room on Sunday night. Invite a friend!

Getting excited about next year's theme for pieces. Last year was "outdoors"; this year is "INTERIOR" spaces! Think bedrooms, restaurants, classrooms, boxes, sheds, dollhouses, cocoons, gym class, a fish tank... and more than you can imagine!

Grateful to these young women who shared poetry so powerfully tonight for those who cannot speak. Moving hearts; helping girls break free of being trafficked.
