Alright, Vancouver, I’ve got two tickets to give away to the opening night of Agokwe at The Cultch on Monday, Jan 17. If you haven’t grabbed a paper copy of Xtra Vancouver this week, do, and check out Natasha Barsotti’s interview with writer/performer Waawaate Fobister.

So here’s how the contest is going to work: the 14th person to email me at vancouvergayblog@gmail.com with the name of the headlining performer at tonight’s Two Spirit Let’s Hear It Queer Bash Party wins.

Winner of Six Dora Mavor Moore Awards.
A Buddies in Bad Times Theatre production.

Agokwe explores unrequited love
between teenaged boys from neighbouring reserves. They meet briefly at a post-hockey-tournament
party where they bashfully confess their desire for each other. However youth, distance and
isolation strive to pull the threads apart when tragedy intervenes.
