Crimson Cabaret 2010: Celebrating Creative Women

Queer and lesbian events in Vancouver

Doors: 5:30 p.m., Showtime: 7:00 p.m.

As part of International Women's Day 2010, we (North Shore Women's Centre) will be presenting our 6th annual benefit production, Crimson Cabaret: Celebrating Creative Women on Saturday, March 20th, 2010.

As many of you know, that because of on-going funding cutbacks to social services and advocacy groups this year, we strongly rely on the success of our Crimson Cabaret event to assist us in meeting the needs of women in our community by sustaining our Centre's programs and services for the year ahead. Recent news from the UN documents the "systemic erosion" of women's status in Canada -- dropping in the gender gap index from 14th position in 2006 to 25th position in 2009. With BC having the highest poverty rates among provinces in Canada, women are increasingly disadvantaged and facing more precarious situations.

We have appreciated your support in the past, and this year we need your participation more than ever! Please consider purchasing tickets to attend the show on March 20th, for yourself, your friends and family. And if you are unable to attend - consider buying a ticket anyway and we can pass it along to someone who cannot afford one. If you have not been to the show before - don't miss another year!

Crimson Cabaret provides a unique opportunity to come together to help support women in our communities. As well, it gives you the chance to watch a series of spectacular performances by talented artists! From African drumming to comedy, belly dance to opera - this event represents the wide spectrum of our local community artists at their best - diverse, multicultural and breathtaking.
