FRIDAY, MARCH 06, 2009
Doors open at 6:30 PM

Discover what happens when you put five men of different ages together, each with different life experiences. Real Men Talking takes theses five men – and the audience – on an amazing journey, one that forces them to explore what it takes to transform an ordinary man into a “real man.”
A must-see – it will have you laughing, crying and thinking, but most of all, ready to make a difference in your life and the lives of others. It’s an experience with great entertainment for all ages.
