About this Event
Prostate Not Prostrate: When Silence Becomes the Real Thief is a powerful performance blending comedy, culture and crucial health awareness.
Written and performed by Lisa Jackson, featuring her much-loved character Patty Dumplin and a supporting appearance by local Orchid Community Champion Osbourne Taylor, this show speaks directly to men’s health — especially Black men over 40, who face a higher risk of prostate cancer — but it is relevant to all men of all diversities, and to the women, partners, families and friends who love them. Everyone has a role to play in breaking the silence.
What to Expect
- 6:00pm — Doors open: Browse local support stalls and meet health advocates.
- 6:30pm — Performance begins: A 50-minute comedy play packed with family secrets, sharp humour and hard truths
- Post-show discussion with:

This is not just a show — it’s a community call to action.
