I've been working full-tilt on "My Mother's Lesbian Jewish-Wiccan Wedding" - a new musical comedy in The Toronto Fringe Festival, July 1-12. Based on the true story of how my mom came out to me, met her partner and got married, it features around 20 completely new songs, a cast of 7 and a live band - all at Bread and Circus in Kensington Market (299 August Ave.) - one of my favourite venues.
Irene Carl and I wrote the script and Andrew Lamb is directing - the cast is now finalized and the band is made up of Sarah Calvert, Jeff Daze and David Pontello. Irene and I are also acting in and producing the show which means we're both getting about 2 hours of sleep a night - but it's worth it - we're really proud of the script and songs and I think it's going to be great (crossing fingers and knocking on wood). Wish us luck!
