Café DaPoPo made a whole lot of new friends at Halifax Pride's annual auction OUT BId! IV. Most of this audience was new to the Café's mode of operation, but I think it's safe to say they were won over. Sonnets, monologues, scenes and adult bedtime stories of all of a "queer bent" were received with applause. DaPoPo's signature group numbers, "No Flies, No Set!", the "Four-Directional Song of Doubt" and "Fuge aus die Homosexuellen" brought the house down.
"It was a real treat for us to have DaPoPo supporting us at this fundraiser," said Pride Chair Hugo Dann. "It's a thrill to expose the LGBT community to artists they may not have been aware of. The Café is definitely something our comunity can take Pride in!
