THEATRE + MUSIC + ART Festival
Gabriola Island
August 16-19, 2018
Heartbreaking, funny, thought-provoking, beautiful, musical.
Inside/Out
Patrick is kind, soft-spoken and sincere; Inside/Out is his real-life story of years spent in and out of Canada’s penitentiary system.
And that’s the thing – you look at Patrick and think, ‘this guy robbed a bank?’
