Butterfly Tongue: Evening Event

About this Event

Get ready for an unforgettable evening that blends the power of art with a heartwarming cause! Join us for a captivating event that shines a spotlight on vulnerable women while supporting My Friend's House, Collingwood's women's shelter.

The night kicks off with a live set by Shjaane Glover, an emerging local singer-songwriter who's quickly becoming the talk of the town & whose soulful melodies will set the stage for an evening of inspiration.

Following a brief intermission, dive into the emotional depth of Butterfly Tongue, an extraordinary one-hour play written and performed by Owen Sound's poet laureate emeritus, Richard-Yves Sitoski. Discover the poignant story of a small-town foundry worker whose life is transformed by a chance encounter with Susan, a homeless woman at a bus shelter. As their worlds collide, Susan’s courage and vulnerability ignite a spark of hope and love in him that transcends their struggles.

Throughout the evening, you’ll have the opportunity to learn about the vital work of My Friend's House and join the cause through exciting raffle prizes and auction items. Together, let's raise awareness and support for women facing domestic violence and mental health challenges.

Don't miss this chance to be part of a night filled with extraordinary performances, meaningful connections, and a cause that truly matters!
