Vancouver's Firehall Theatre will be presenting a production called "VISIONS OF VALERIE DUDOWARD" in honor of the late CBC broadcaster who passed away suddenly in September 2006.

Valerie Dudoward was a writer and a leader in the Aboriginal community. Her family established The Valerie Dudoward Foundation after her death to continue her life's legacy and her commitment to the First Nations community, women's issues, and the literary and performing arts.

Saturday's production will include a screening of Tracey Jack's documentary Silent Violence, dramatic readings of Dudoward's poetry, sound bites from her radio show, and traditional drum songs. 100% of the production's earnings will go directly to support women who have suffered Battered Women's Syndrome, as well as Aboriginal youth.

Visions of Valerie Dudoward
Dec. 15 @ 6 p.m.
The Firehall Theatre (280 E. Cordova, Vancouver)
TIX from $25
