Theatre Alumni Jeremy Banks brings his summer Fringe Festival Show to the Malaspina Theatre for a free show on Wed. Oct. 13th at noon. Sponsored by the Human Rights Department and the VIU Theatre department, catch this 4 1/2 star (out of 5) show for an entertaining noon hour. Here is what Monday magazine had to say about this show in Victoria. 

The Big Smoke - Kid from Wawa moves to Toronto, discovers homosexuality. The tone of this one, I'm sure you might guess, is hard to describe concisely. Let's try this: you've made a new friend, you still don't know them too well, then one night over beers he shares something heavy with you-but not gloomily, since there's beer and, well, you're buds. He trusts you. The Big Smoke feels like that.

The Take Back the Night Walk is for women to walk together in solidarity without fear, to reclaim the dark streets and raise awareness about violence against women.  Women participants will meet at 6:30pm at the Women's Resource Centre on Selby Street and will walk together to Maffeo Sutton Park.  There our male allies are welcome to join us for the Sisters in Spirit Vigil which is a time to acknowledge and remember the missing and murdered aboriginal women of Canada.
