This one woman show by Candy Simmons examines the dilemmas facing American women throughout that nation’s history. The show is divided up into three segments, each featuring a different character from a different time period.
The title of *How To Become a Diva* may drum up images of feather boas and histrionic tantrums, but Terri Catlin eschews these elements for a surprisingly honest one-woman autobiographical performance.
Based on a true story, Attention Theatre’s recreation of a brief and bizarre encounter between the 60s’ most famous champion of LSD and its most famous cult leader/murderer makes for a fascinating battle of minds.
This is the real Timothy Leary. This is not an actor.
Eddie, a former animation writer and all-around social misfit is having an extremely bad day. His lisping girlfriend dumps him, he is fired from his job as an ESL teacher, his AA sponsor encourages him to fall off the wagon, and his therapist seems determined to drive him to suicide.
*Because I Can* features reliably funny Toronto regulars, Sandy Jobin-Bevans, Mike ‘Nug’ Nahrgang, Jim Annan, and Kate Hewlett in Allison McWood’s surreal, almost Monty Pythonesque, comedy about a manipulative podiatrist, his urban-phobic patient, an insecure male nurse, and a Romanian janitor wise beyond his position.
Because they can they will wrestle with a mop for your entertainment
In the Moment Theatre is back at it, following up their 2005 Fringe show _Shadow Court_ with further unabashed geekery in *Out of Character*. Delving into the mysterious and bizarre world of LARPing (Live Action Roleplaying, for the non-geeks), the play foregoes easy humour at the expense of these social outcasts and delivers a surprisingly poignant love story.
I’m a sucker for a bit of fast-talkin’, jazz-handin’ vaudville, and this was exactly what was promised on the flyer for *The Parker and Seville Show*. Trying in earnest to emulate classical greats like Laurel and Hardy or Abbott and Costello, Dave Barclay and Matt Kowall inserted their own brand of absurdity and vulgarity into an ancient formula.
Parker and Seville: there's no business like show business
The Williamson Playboys - the self-proclaimed oldest living father and son Cajun music duo (also known as comedians Doug Morency and Paul Bates) - delight with hilarious songs played on tuba and mandolin, and equally funny improvised banter between numbers assisted by MC Sandy Jobin-Bevans.
After a mysterious fire burns down St. Agatha’s church, its new pastor and hard-core parishioners attempt to raise 4 million dollars of reconstruction money by throwing an old fashioned church-basement Bingo evening.
