Town Hall and Community Center
Davidson LifeLine is proud to announce that we are hosting a screening of ‘You Belong Here’ on June 30 at 6:30 p.m. at the Davidson Town Hall and Community Center. This is a documentary exploring the stories of LGBTQ+ persons and allies who grew up in and around rural North Carolina. The film highlights LGBTQ+ voices to promote understanding and acceptance and addresses the suicide rate among young people in the community. Following the screening will be a Q&A panel with individuals from the film and people with lived experience from our community in the Davidson area. You can find more details and reserve your free ticket here.

Duke Family Performance Hall
The jack-of-all trades, Bert, introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family. Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep. Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family members how to value each other again. Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren’t the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect. Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that “Anything can happen if you let it.” (Shows run through July 2.)
