Event Description
Friends of Mengo Hospital (Canada) in cooperation with Spilt Milk Comedy Theater are hosting an evening of comedy for all ages in order to raise funds for Mengo hospital in Kampala, Uganda. On Thursday March 2nd join us at the Lansdowne Campus of Camosun College at the Gibson Theatre in theYoung building (underneath the clock tower). Every tax deductible ticket sold assists in supporting crucial medical initiatives in Sub Saharan Africa. For tickets and more information contact the Macpherson Box Office by phone at 386-6121 or in person at the corner of Pandora and Government. Tickets will be on sale February 4th for $20. Doors will open at 6:30 for silent auction and the performance will be underway by 7:30.
Mengo was the first hospital in East Africa. It has a long tradition of providing care to sick Ugandans, despite very limited resources and facilities. The ongoing AIDS pandemic in Sub-Saharan Africa has created a new challenge and responsibility. Outside help is needed to continue existing programs and to develop new services. FOMH(C) directs Canadian support to special needs such as, the dental clinic, TB clinic, AIDS home care service, and nursing education. For decades volunteers from Victoria have been travelling to Mengo to serve in various capacities.
Spilt Milk is a theater company based in Victoria, BC, which has been performing their own unique brand of comedy for the last 10 years. They specialize in interactive comedy performances. Their content policy is to keep the humor above-the-waist and out-of-the-gutter.
