Bring Your Shoes to WAC during Kinky Boots!

Together with KINKY BOOTS, we're encouraging local families to bring their new or gently used boots, tennis shoes and sturdy shoes for men, women and children when they come to see KINKY BOOTS on January 19-24. These donations go directly to the local non-profit organization Peace at Home Family Shelter. Peace at Home Family Shelter empowers victims of domestic violence to survive and thrive by nurturing their self-determination and courage; and promotes healthy relationships and communities through education, outreach and advocacy.

Inspired by true events, Kinky Boots takes you from a gentlemen's shoe factory in Northampton to the glamorous catwalks of Milan. Charlie Price is struggling to live up to his father's expectations and continue the family business of Price & Son. With the factory's future hanging in the balance, help arrives in the unlikely but spectacular form of Lola, a fabulous performer in need of some sturdy new stilettos.

The Peace at Home Family Shelter was founded in 1977 and was the first shelter in Arkansas to provide shelter and supportive services for survivors of domestic violence. The program started in a small house in Fayetteville and is now providing services in a new Donald W. Reynolds building.
