SUMMARY:The Blue Taffeta Party Dress and Other Stories
DESCRIPTION:Join us for The Blue Tafetta Party Dress on July 2nd\, 3rd and 4th @ 8PM.\nRunning Time: 70 Minutes\, 2 Acts (each act is 35 to 40 minutes) One 15 minute intermission. \n“This play packs a queer historical punch while still maintaining humour and wit. An eloquent one-person drama that keeps you wondering what’s around each theatrical corner.” – James Chamberlain\, Nanaimo\, BC\, Founding Member of GALE (Gay & Lesbian Educators) \nOn July 2\, 3 and 4\, 2026 the Sunset Theatre in Wells is proud to present a very personal coming of age story created by a Quesnel born writer\, performer and retired teacher/principal. \nThe Blue Taffeta Party Dress & Other Stories is a solo performance written and performed by Dennis Hawkins-Bogle\, and tells the story of one man’s coming of age journey from childhood to his life as the principal of the high school he graduated from. \nABOUT THE PLAY \nSet in a small northern town in the 1970s\, this is more than a coming out story. It’s a raw\, honest\, and often wry journey through the psyche\, the politics\, and the pressures of a time that had little room for difference. Playwright and Performer\, Dennis Hawkins-Bogle shares\, “As a gay kid growing up in an era of silence and shame\, my voice was misrepresented\, undermined\, even sensationalized by the dominant culture. Now\, I’m setting the story straight — through moments of resilience\, humour\, heartbreak\, and hope. This is a story about choosing authenticity over fear\, joy over judgment\, and community over isolation. It’s not just about coming out. It’s about coming into a life fully lived.” \nDirected by Campbell River resident\, Heather Gordon Murphy\, Dennis’ play is a collection of autobiographical stories about coming of age in an era of silence and shame. \nThe Blue Taffeta Dress & Other Stories will be presented at the Sunset Theatre in Wells for three nights: Thursday\, July 2nd through to Saturday\, July 4th. The play runs 70 minutes in 2 Acts with one 15 minute intermission. This show contains mature content is suited for an audience over the age of 16 years old. \nAbout the Playwright / Performer \nDennis Hawkins-Bogle (last at the Sunset in 2024\, with Where is Grise Fiord?)\, returns with a collection of autobiographical stories about growing up gay in small-town northern BC. \nBUY TICKETS HERE TODAY! \n(Online Tickets are available until 6PM on the night of the show. All remaining tickets will be sold at the Door at 7:30PM)

You can join us no matter your age or musical ability – beginner and experienced musicians are all welcome. There will be many workshop and lesson choices for you to enjoy. \nThis year\, Jam Camp in the Mountains is partnering with Island Mountain Arts\, an organization with almost 50 years of history. They are leaders in the arts community in BC who host the ArtsWells Festival\, arts workshops\, artist residencies\, and a public gallery\, and partner with organizations like the Jam Camp Society.

Campers are invited to arrive in Wells late morning or early afternoon and be set up by 5 pm. Our first official camp activity is the Welcome Potluck that evening. \nOur final performance takes place on the evening of Thursday\, July 30\, and Jam Camp ends on Friday\, July 31. Friday is a free day for packing up camp\, saying goodbyes\, and taking your last stroll in the area before you go. \nThe full schedule of the week’s events will be sent out closer to the date\, and will be similarly structured to those of past camps. Morning activities will start around 9am. Activities include full group workshops\, small group lessons\, and songwriting/musical project groups.

Groups must make their own arrangements for accommodation (see Accommodation section below) and are responsible for their own meals. Campers can make their own food or visit local restaurants. \nThe sliding scale allows campers to choose the payment that suits their family or group best. If you are able to pay more than the base fee per person\, that will help keep camp affordable for everyone. \nNotes: \nE-transfer is the simplest way to pay for your registration. \nIf you pay via PayPal\, PayPal will charge a fee of approximately 3% of your total registration & camping fees. \nYou may also choose to help subsidize registration for a low-income attendee\, or to support the non-profit Jam Camp Society.
