DaPride Café 2013

(Rainbow yarn, folks. It's fun, it's warm and it's fun to play with.)

Thursday, July 25th 2013 DaPoPo Theatre will be back at Menz & Mollyz Bar for our 5th annual DaPride Café – we missed last year's! –, featuring (queer) theatre à la carte, starting at 7:30pm.

Some of the Old Guard will be back: the fabulous Kristi Anderson, the warm and wonderful Zach Faye, the powerhouse Kim Parkhill and  Garry Williams – that's me! – as well as special guest Avery Brennan.

At this outrageous event you can order queer-themed performances off a hot and saucy theatre menu. In past years, popular favourites have been St. Sebastian's Secrets, a communal purge of secrets; A Dip in the Fruit Bowl, a lucky pick of queer-authored performances; and the Bawdy Politick, a sexy blend of queer history and art.

Menz & Mollyz Bar is open, while performers strut their stuff for you at your table, bringing you an evening you will not forget. This is a perfect night out during Halifax Pride.

Café DaPoPo. Expect the unexpected.

Café Is Back!

(Ann Doyle and Gina Thornhill at last year's MayWorks Festival.)

Coming up… MayWorks Café 2013! On May 2nd, DaPoPo Theatre brings its unique blend of ordered chaos to Halifax audiences at Bearley's, The House of Blues and Ribs.

The stellar cast features some old faces, and some new ones. Andrew Kasprzak, Terra Spencer and ACTING OUT! youth ensemble graduate Aisha Sommer join the regular DaPoPo theatre baristas Kim Parkhill, Keelin Jack, Kristi Anderson, Eric Benson and Garry Williams.

The performance boasts a menu of accessible political entertainment. Patrons can experience songs, monologues and scenes performed at their table at this popular theatrical event, which has become a staple of the MayWorks Festival.
