BRIDGES OF HOPE - COMMON GOODS
PERFORMANCE + RECEPTION
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 8, 2023
3:00PM
Gichi-ziibi Center for the Arts
Take part in a unique event centered on homelessness and the knowledge we need to make a difference in our community.
Enjoy a performance of A Prairie Homeless Companion, by Josef Evans, modeled after well-known radio show A Prairie Home Companion. With good music, bad jokes, and real stories, zAmya Theater Project presents a show with a quaint depiction of small-town life in Minnesota. But the actors find a different reality than the community they've been spoofing. Residents of the town take over the show and tell more realistic stories.
Tickets include the performance followed by a reception hosted by Bridges of Hope.
