“THERE COMES A TIME”
Miss Coco Peru in her all new show “Miss Coco Peru: There Comes a Time” on Friday, September 2, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at The Manor Entertainment Complex, 2345 Wilton Drive in Wilton Manors. The return of the celebrated monologist/singer/actor-actress Miss Coco Peru in an all-new, cabaret-style evening of stories, songs, lots of laughs – and a surprise or two. Legions of Coco-philes know that Miss Peru’s shows fearlessly explore all facets of human nature, expertly turning darkness into illumination.

“This time,” says Coco, “I’ve decided to do something a little different. I wanted to try something a bit lighter, a night of pure fun with Coco.” For tickets, visit www.brownpapertickets.com/event/183543.
