Една комедия с Башар Рахал в ролята на стендъп комика Емил Гатев и Иван Бърнев като неговия продуцент Сами. Историята проследява как двамата приятели се забъркват в серия хаотични интриги\, опитвайки да спечелят вниманието на американска продуцентка и шанс за турне в САЩ и Канада. През смях и драматични моменти\, сюжетът изследва теми като приятелството\, провалите и непреклонността пред житейските предизвикателства. \nЕлате да се посмеем заедно! \nКога? \n11 Септември 2026 | петък | 20.00 часа \nКъде? \nVanier College Auditorium \n821 Sainte Croix Ave\, Saint-Laurent\, QC H4L 3X9\, Canada URL:https://bgace.org/event/ticket-to-america-montreal-%d0%b1%d0%b8%d0%bb%d0%b5%d1%82-%d0%b7%d0%b0-%d0%b0%d0%bc%d0%b5%d1%80%d0%b8%d0%ba%d0%b0-%d0%bc%d0%be%d0%bd%d1%80%d0%b5%d0%b0%d0%bb/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://bgace.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/f2ec7d44d69c1ee9.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20260623T193000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20260623T223000 DTSTAMP:20260706T223009Z CREATED:20260701T221151Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260706T223009Z UID:1803-1782243000-1782253800@bgace.org SUMMARY:Stories That Heal/Истории\, които лекуват - additional event DESCRIPTION:RSVP HERE\n \nAbout the Event\n\nRSVP HERE\n \nEvent Location \nEvent Location \n\n\n1120 S Elmhurst Rd\, Mount Prospect\, IL 60056\n\n708-415-6985\n\n \nStories That Heal\nReading • Video Storytelling • Community Dialogue \nEvent Schedule \n23 June \n7:30 – 7:40 PMWelcome & Opening RemarksBrief welcome from BACE\, introduction of the evening\, and acknowledgment of Healing Illinois support. \n7:40 – 8:10 PMTopic 1: Language as a Bridge Against PrejudiceReading / introductionShort film screeningGuided discussion \n8:10 – 8:40 PMTopic 2: Searching for a CureReading / introductionShort film screeningGuided discussion \n8:40 – 9:10 PMTopic 3: Finding Home: The Story of Samuel Refetoff and His Medical BreakthroughsReading / introductionShort film screeningGuided discussion \n9:10 – 9:20 PMShort BreakRefreshments\, wine\, drinks\, and appetizers \n9:20 – 9:50 PMTopic 4: The Freedom to Start Over: Running from Communism — The Story of Shefket ChapadzhievReading / introductionShort film screeningGuided discussion \n9:50 – 10:15 PMTopic 5: A Bulgarian Artist\, A Black Neighborhood\, One Shared CanvasReading / introductionShort film screeningGuided discussion \n10:15 – 10:25 PMClosing Conversation: Neighbors Moving Forward TogetherGroup reflection on storytelling\, belonging\, healing\, and community connection. \n10:25 – 10:30 PMClosing RemarksThank-you remarks\, acknowledgments\, and invitation to continue the conversation. \n10:30 PM onwardMusic & SocializingInformal gathering\, refreshments\, conversation\, and community connection. \nEvent Sponsors \nWe proudly acknowledge the valued partnerships of our sponsors.
