Don Valley Girls
Produced by Poetic License Creations
Presented as part of Why Not Theatre’s RISER Toronto
We’ve aged out of being the Main Character, and it kinda really sucks. So we wrote a sketch show about it because why cry when you can cry while you laugh! …on stage, in front of everyone. We're a mashup of Somali/Korean/Palestinian/Pakistani Canadian perspectives from women and non-binary folks, and boy, our sketches don't hold back any punches. You may even experience a punch or two to the gut… with laughter! Come for the snarky blurb, stay for the weird (sometimes heartfelt) sketches, songs, and occasional video interlude. This is NOT your auntie's sketch show. (Or maybe it is.)
This show was selected to be funded through the Sketch Comedy Project Fund, a special project of The Pat and Tony Adams Freedom Fund for the Arts and the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival.
