ARCHIVE – This Really Happened: Secret & Lies – $20

Featuring Festival Authors & Local Storytellers

Presented in partnership with carte blanche, this live storytelling event returns to Wordfest with a fresh batch of true stories told off the cuff. This year's theme covers everything from seemingly-harmless white lies to bold-faced fabrications: — Patrick Gale on how coming out can have a snowball effect. — Juan Pablo Villalobos on keeping a car accident from his own parents. — Cathy Ostlere on the secret of her brother's disappearance. — Dale Lee Kwong on keeping secrets from yourself. — Cassy Wellburn on years of pen pal lies that came back to haunt her. — Trevor Cole on how a seemingly harmless fib at age 17 led him to being rescued by the cops. 14 Oct 2015 9:00 pm-10:30 pm Royal Canadian Legion #1, 116 7th Ave SE $20 / $17 Seniors and Students [gdlr_button href="https://www.artscommons.ca/WhatsOn/ShowDetails.aspx?show_id=A3914CEF-2533-4882-87E8-E4C879CF2B86" target="_self" size="medium" background="#F26531" color="#ffffff"]Buy Tickets[/gdlr_button] To order by phone, please call the Arts Commons Box Office at 403 294 9494.
