Past Event: Mending Broken Dreams 1st Annual AID for Aceh Fundraiser - brought to you by PASSS and UVSS

March 25th 2005 in the David Lam Auditorium from 7pm-9pm

Features performances from students across campus as well as the feature performance: Vancouver Asian Canadian Theatre Group (VACT)

VACT's mandate is to produce quality plays where Asian-Canadians take culturally or artistically significant roles. At present, Asian-Canadians are often cast in stereotypical roles, e.g. delivery boys, grocers or kung fu experts. VACT wants to dispel these stereotypes by producing leading and/or supporting roles where Asian-Canadians are depicted realistically in the performing arts.

All proceeds will go to a humanitarian NGO in Aceh to help rebuild a community in need.
