February Program Warms Up Our Spirit in Winter

February 2002 PFLAG Newsletter

In a program open to the entire community, PFLAG will have a special program in February you will not want to miss.  On Saturday evening, February 16th at 7 p.m. we will have a special performance of the Louie Project, directed by our town's renowned Joan Lipkin of That Uppity Theater Company fame.  Joan has been working for the past year with a group of St. Louis men who have developed a theater piece in telling their stories as gay men.  This is part of a trend in theater to develop performance pieces from ordinary people telling their real stories.  And we all have stories to tell. These stories will touch us, inspire us, and heal us as art reflects to us who we are and who we can be.
