Poplar Hall, Appleton, WI
We’re excited to bring you the 2nd annual An Event, Period. on October 12 to benefit The Monthlies Project, which funds a growing need to distribute period products to schools and organizations that serve young menstruators. We’ve planned an evening of gut-busting comedy, hors d'oeuvres by the creative culinary team at Osorio’s Latin Fusion, reimagined craft cocktails and mocktails, and unapologetic empowerment!
FEATURED COMEDIAN.
This year’s entertainment will feature Appleton’s very own Tracy Schroeder, who has endeared herself to audiences with her subtle yet adorable Wisconsin accent, giving the illusion of a safe, middle of the road, ho-hum comic. But don’t be fooled by her innocent look and casual demeanor… this lady is a shark attack of sarcasm! Tracy has opened for Charlie Berens of the Manitowoc Minute, Mark Curry from “Hanging with Mr. Cooper” and Kevin Bozeman from “Last Comic Standing.” She has also been featured on the Nickelodeon website “NickMoms,” where several of her bits were in frequent rotation. The comedic talents of this saucy spitfire are in high demand and we’re excited for her to drown us in laughter!
EVENT SCHEDULE.
5:00 – Registration, Networking & Food Buffet

The event will start at 5pm with networking and a curated playlist by TriJ the DJ (a.k.a. Trina Doxtator). Grab a cocktail/mocktail, enjoy tasty food from Osorio’s, and find a seat with friends. The program will begin at 6pm, featureing comedian Tracy Schroeder and a lively panel discussion with community members who will share their unique perspectives on menstruation, period poverty, advocacy, and the barriers our local youth are experiencing today.
