Five well-dressed dudes and a gal – including Nova Scotia radio host Jeff Douglas – fully (and we do mean FULLY) committed to the ’80s as music’s best decade, the dancing machine known as Height Requirement returns to The Carleton stage for a special Pride Week Party – with special guests Proshenna Rett & Anna Mona Pia – on Friday, July 25th. Show time is 8 PM and tickets are $20 + HST.
