Join us for 'Prom Night,' an evening in support of Dressember. Help us raise awareness and combat child trafficking!The Dressember Foundation is an incredible organisation that uses fashion to advocate for the dignity of all people. Every December, individuals around the world commit to wearing dresses or ties for the entire month of December in order to raise awareness and funds for the fight against human trafficking. Since its inception, Dressember has raised over $13 million to support anti-trafficking programs worldwide, impacting the lives of thousands of survivors.You can find more information here: https://www.dressember.org/
The Prom theme is designed to be a tie-in with Dressember’s challenge to wear dresses or ties for the month of December.
The show will be a kick- off to the month by encouraging performers and audience members alike to embrace their bowties, princess sleeves, and big hair for the evening. Who knows? It might actually be more fun than your actual prom night!
Doors at 7 PM
Show from 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
The evening itself will feature a variety of acts including:
Improv from The Bakery
Music from MaHunny
Stand-up comedy from Carilynn Nicholson
Swing dancing from Seaside Swing Dance Company
And more!
Light snacks and refreshments will be made available for sale.

This show is a no-hate space - there is zero tolerance for racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or hatred and bigotry of any kind.
This event is being held on the territories of the Lekwungen people, also known as the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations. In an effort to work towards decolonization, we encourage you to learn about our local Nations and participate in upcoming public events.
