The Brother Circle and Sarah Simmons Showcase to Light Up the Capri Theatre in Minneapolis November 30



Capri Theatre, 2027 W. Broadway, Minneapolis, MN

 The Capri Theatre in Minneapolis will be the site of two coördinated programs designed to reduce HIV infections and entertain on Friday, November 30th.  The first event, The Brother Circle Dinner takes place 4-6 pm, and includes free food and discussion with Jamar Rogers, semifinalist on "The Voice" and LaMont Wheat, songwriter and performer of "Still Standing."
The Sarah Simmons Showcase will take place from 6-8 pm at the Capri.  This event is a community talent show.  It will also features songs by special guests, Jamar and LaMont.  If you would also like to perform in the Showcase, please register by November 15th with Peggy Darrett-Brewer at 651-201-4138 or email peggy.darrett-brewer@state.mn.us.
Both events will include free information on HIV prevention, free condoms, free STD testing, and free door prizes.
It is going to be a fantastic evening, and the culmination of ten months of work by me with The Black AIDS Institute, African American HIV University and our own Black HIV Coalition.  It has been an honor to work with  inspiring people in Minneapolis and around the country to reduce HIV in Blacks.  Blacks are the most impacted group by HIV of any race or ethnic group in the United States.  Black gay and bisexual men are particularly hard hit by HIV.
 Built in 1927, the Capri Theater’s storied history includes 35 years as the Paradise Theater (from 1933 to 1967), as well as the place where Prince launched his international music career in January 1979. Located at 2027 West Broadway (one block east of Penn Ave. North), the Capri Theater is owned and operated by Plymouth Christian Youth Center (PCYC).  (Capri Website)
So join us for this fun evening of food, music, entertainment, and education.  Be part of the cure.  Let us end HIV in our lifetimes.
Yours,
Bill
