Co-Produced with the frank theatre

Sister Mary’s a Dyke?! is a new play by Toronto-based playwright Flerida Peña. It follows Abby, a Catholic school girl who discovers that not everything is at it seems at Crown of Thorns Academy. After falling in love for the first time, Abby is sent on a thrilling mission that sends her beyond the walls of her all-girls school, to St. Peter’s Square. All of Abby’s notions about herself and the church are turned on their head in this coming-of-age, coming-out comedy featuring local actor and musician Kim Villagante, and directed by Jan Derbyshire. Scandal, intrigue, and mile-a-minute FUN are served up in this stellar one-woman show!

Cahoots Theatre Company developed and produced the world premiere of Sister Mary’s a Dyke in Toronto, April 2013.

This show (Aug 2) is ASL interpreted and Pay What You Can.

A collaboration with Early Music Vancouver

Reginald Mobley, countertenor Alexander Weimann, harpsichord and piano

As was with people of colour, the contribution of gay composers and musicians throughout history has been largely forgotten, hidden, or ignored. And in this “Age of Grindr”, where the “woof” of an app is stronger than the bite of wit, we need to be reminded that we have a responsibility as lay curators of culture. With a sampling music of gay composers from as early as the 18th century, Countertenor Reggie Mobley invites you you join him in standing in the light of a whitewashed past, and expose the spectrum of color that deserves to be seen.

Please join us after the show to meet and chat with the artists.
