Take part in Homelessness Awareness Week!

This open and honest dialogue was written and will be performed by clients and staff of The Daily Planet in order to provide the audience with a brief glimpse into the circumstances and complex issues surrounding homelessness. It promotes a better understanding of the difficulties of living on the streets with an active and challenging psychodrama. Suggested donations are $10 per person to benefit The Daily Planet.

The cast of SPADES has been invited to perform at the Kennedy Center on April 7, 2008 for the National Alliance to End Homelessness Awards and Fundraising Gala.
