SUMMARY:The Marvelous Misadventures of Boofus and Schmoozle
DESCRIPTION:Two misfit clowns find themselves up creek without a paddle when their traveling circus leaves them behind due to a bad case of stage fright. What Boofus and Schmoozle lack in polish they make up for in resourcefulness and they quickly find themselves flying through the mayhem of an impromptu performance in a last ditch attempt to learn cooperation and earn some desperately needed coin. Props fly\, hyjinx abound and panic rises as the pantomiming pair hurtle through a series of desperate acts that grow progressively more surreal as buttons and boundaries are pushed. The Marvelous Misadventures Of Boofus and Schmoozle is a ludicrous celebration of sibling partnership that unabashedly explores the tension of conflicting needs and anxieties\, with the comfort of having someone in your corner.

SUMMARY:Celebrating 10 Years of Queer as Funk: Vancouver Pride Weekend Kickoff!
DESCRIPTION:As the tenth anniversary of Vancouver-based funk and soul band Queer As Funk approaches\, anticipation builds for a milestone celebration that promises to captivate hearts and minds. The band has been a transformative force within the 2SLGBTQI+ community\, using their music as a catalyst for joy\, acceptance\, and social justice. \nOn August 4th\, Queer As Funk will take to the stage at the Commodore Ballroom to mark a decade of spreading queer joy and positivity through their music. The band intends to use the performance as an opportunity to gather the queer community and allies to lead with love\, especially in the face of rising discrimination against trans and queer folks. \nAt its core\, Queer As Funk was born from a desire to celebrate diversity\, using music as a tool to spread that positivity throughout the community. As one of the few predominantly queer and non-binary bands in the province\, their shows are not only dynamic and entertaining\, but a powerful statement of pride and identity. \nThroughout their ten-year history\, Queer As Funk has been dedicated to visiting small communities to provide celebration and visibility to queer individuals looking to gather\, connect\, and strengthen their communities. They aim to inspire queer youth by offering themselves as models for living full\, joyful lives as successful queer adults\, and; as the band’s love for one another is palpable in performances\, models for celebrating queer friendship\, love\, and chosen family. \nAlongside their commitment to social justice\, Queer As Funk has also earned a reputation as a powerful and entertaining band. Their tight horn arrangements\, groovy rhythms\, and powerful vocals have won over fans at music festivals and Pride events across Canada. \nFor their tenth-anniversary celebration\, Queer As Funk will be joined by special guests Marcus Mosely (of The Sojourners) and Beau Wheeler. Tickets are available for $39.75 + fees\, and the show will begin at 8pm. \nIn a time when the queer and trans community is still facing discriminatory attitudes and policies\, Queer As Funk remains a beacon of hope and inspiration. This anniversary celebration promises to be a night of love\, joy\, and powerful music\, as the band showcases ten years of triumphant dedication to uplifting the 2SLGBTQI+ community.
