For readers in the DC/NoVA area, please consider coming out to the Palace of Wonders tonight to support Charon and Johnny Henning, two friends of mine for whom a benefit show is being held this evening. Charon is a fellow performer who suffered an injury very similar to mine, and in addition to the medical costs of that misfortune, is now struggling to meet the expenses of treating her husband Johnny. Johnny was seriously injured by another driver in a motorcycle accident last year, and has endured a number of very expensive surgeries and procedures in an ongoing struggle to repair a shattered leg.
A number of very talented magicians and other variety performers will be on stage tonight to raise funds for Johnny's care. Page and I will be in attendance; in fact, Page will be mixing with the crowd tonight as the official donation collector for the show. The cover is only $10 for several hours of entertainment, so please consider coming out, having a good time, and meeting some very unique member of DC's performing arts scene.
The Palace of Wonders is located at 1210 H St., NE. Ample streetside parking is available nearby. The show starts at 9, but consider arriving early to secure a good view of the stage.
