Community Partnership Alert!
We are delighted to once again partner with The Lotus Project and Promising Pages. Troubadour Booksellers will be onsite at The Lotus Project's upcoming production of Roald Dahl's W***Y WONKA JR. on May 9. From 3-6pm, we will host a pop-up book sale of all things Dahl (plus select children's and mid-grade books). Get books to take home or purchase books for donation to Promising Pages at a 10% discount.
The Lotus Project builds community and inspires change by providing accessible, inclusive, and affirming theatre and creative experiences that explore the hardship and beauty of the human condition. Learn more at https://www.thelotusprojectnc.com/
Promising Pages is the Charlotte Area Book Bank. Promising Pages collects new and donated books and shares them with children living in the Charlotte Area Book Desert: those with few, if any, books at home. We work to create a culture of book sharing and ownership. Learn more at https://promising-pages.org/
Roald Dahl's W***Y WONKA JR. runs May 8 @ 7pm & May 9 @ 2pm & 6pm. Troubadour Booksellers pop-up book sale will be 3-6pm.

At The Lotus Project, this is at the core of every single thing we do. Arts are a brilliant vehicle for practicing empathy, communication, conflict resolution and more. And we do all these things while singing, dancing, acting, creating art, and so much more.

It’s no secret that we grew up in two very different time periods and worlds - and this definitely contributed to how different our coming out stories are and when/how we became more in touch with our own queerness. The final little installment in our breakfast chat on coming out - enjoy!
