Boys will be Girls and Girls will be Boys! – In a “Cabaret”-drag style show called Turnabout.

The theme of Paso this year is Sock-Hop and will take place November 14 at 8 p.m. in the Special Events Room at Sunset Center in Amarillo.

Turnabout is the Panhandle Aids Support Organization’s (PASO) largest annual fundraiser.

“Turnabout has grown over the years,and it’s more of a concept show. Each year is a different theme, and we try to carry that through from beginning to end,” Michael Timcisko, Executive Director of PASO, said.

Last year’s Turnabout show was a Christmas themed show – Holiday with the Stars, which featured popular holiday tunes along with made-up fun Christmas characters and personalities.

All proceeds from the show will go towards those in need in the 26 counties of the Texas Panhandle.

PASO is a full service non-profit support agency that has been providing services since 1988. PASO offers education and emotional support to those persons infected with HIV.
