Eastside update: Homecoming King, the Pride Ball, Queer Bash: Pride Farewell

The Eastside is bringing it this Pride, and there’s a little bit of something for everyone. Here’s the to-do:

Homecoming King

Have you seen Dave Deveau and James Coomber’s musical yet? It’s finishing its run at The Cultch with three more shows:

July 28 – 7pm

July 29 – 9:15pm

July 31 – 8:30pm

Here’s the official rundown:

What do you do when life is going perfectly? You screw it up. Daniel is a successful businessman. And he’s married to Evelyn. They’re in love. And life continues on, as it has a tendency of doing. But 10 years later, when Daniel meets Linda, he has to make a choice. Or does he? Can a man navigate two wives and two lives? A musical with grit.

You don’t want to miss this one. Trust!
