SUMMARY:Will Durst - Benefit for KPOV
DESCRIPTION:Yes\, KPOV is bringing the hilarious political comic Will Durst back to Bend for the smartest side-splitting evening will you ever experience. You’re welcome. \nThe show is May 19 at 7:00 p.m.at The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon\, 61980 Skyline Ranch Road\, Bend. Save the date and stay tuned for ticket sales in April. Then act quickly. The show is sure to sell out. \n“The Durst Case Scenario” is playful and ludicrous and whimsical and droll and silly and serious and sarcastic\, mischievous\, incisive\, trenchant\, profound\, and chock full of jokes. Many funny ones. A unique theatrical event delivered with stand- up timing and not less than a modicum of poetry. \nIn this lightning- paced 85-minute comedic tour-de-force\, Will Durst analyzes where we are\, how we got here and what destinations lie ahead. He chronicles the fear\, the danger and all the wacky zany antics\, palace intrigues\, and pitfalls of polarization threatening our country and civilization in this\, The New Abnormal. \nAbly assisted by his trusty overhead projector and blessed with an extraordinary talent to engage his audiences with his hysterical observations and righteous exasperation\, Durst mocks & scoffs & taunts in segments such as Trumpapalooza\, the Bright Sides of Donald J. Trump’s Presidency\, the Symptoms of PTSD & Mike Pence is the Product of Reverse Taxidermy.

Each event includes seasonal ongoing tasks as well as special projects as needed throughout the growing season. Volunteers are welcome to pop in for an hour or stay the whole time. No need to RSVP or commit ahead of time. (Pro tip – put the following dates in your phone calendar now – then when it pops up you can decide if it works out for you or not!) \nIn 2023\, Happy Hour in the Garden will once again run twice a month from March through October. This schedule throughout the extent of the growing season offers meaningful volunteer experiences for all who come\, and deeper care for the garden when it needs it. \nFor Spring 2023\, our Happy Hours will be 4-6pm\, on the 1st & 3rd Tuesdays of the month. \nMarch & April Happy Hours sponsored by Wild Ride Brewing \n\nMarch 7 & 21\nApril 4 & 18\n\nMay & June Happy Hours sponsored by Worthy Environmental \n\nMay 2 & 16\nJune 6 & 20\n\nStay tuned for confirmation of dates for July through October\, as these might switch to the 2nd & 4th…) \nContact Denise\, Garden Program Manager\, if you have any questions about getting involved.
