Halloween weekend has crept up on the unsuspecting city of Prince George. As suits, ties, and well-to-do business bustles along amidst leaves whipping through crisp air, the UNBC Northern Pride Centre prepares for a far more scantily clad routine carried out in the darkness. A projection bulb flickers to life in UNBC’s Weldwood Theatre 7pm this Friday Oct 25th for the Rocky Picture Horror Show.
Typically this event serves as the fulcrum for the centre’s funding each year, but with the success of various drag night events initiated after the Covid-19 pandemic, there is less pressure on the success of this event. “It’s not the make-or-break anymore.” Says Northern Pride volunteer Jo Van Winkle. They continue, “It’s definitely getting more and more fun each year.”
A bag of accoutrements is available to each attendee. Costumes, both racy and modest, are welcome $10 in advance $15 at door, Room 7-238, near UNBC’s Winter Garden in building 7.
