Hi all,

My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding is in the running for the "Audience Choice" Dora award – the only award that's voted on by the theatre-going public. If you feel that MMLJWW deserves to win, please go to http://www.nowtoronto.com/dora today, then scroll down to "Other" and write in "My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding" - or copy and paste, it's a long title :).

[Note that the shows listed are the ones that were nominated in other categories, so you'll need to type in the title. This means the odds are stacked against us, so every vote counts! Please pass this on to everyone you know who’s supported "the little show that could"!].

While there were many deserving shows nominated, we were disappointed to hear that MMLJWW, along with many other fantastic shows, was not nominated for any other Doras. The Toronto Star's Richard Ouzounian wrote an article this week about his theories why (in the print version, the subheading read "What About Wiccan?"). You can read the article here.

Winning the Audience Choice award would significantly contribute to the show's future - and would support our whole team - our director, producers, actors, band, and designers - none of whom were nominated – and all of whom poured their hearts into this production, making a show that was popular but political, hilarious but heartbreaking, and a true Canadian success story.

The Toronto Star also said "this is a show that the people, rather than the critics, have made a hit. And that's really the most lasting and honest kind of success." Please help us continue that success and spread the show's message by voting now and sending this email to everyone you can.

Thank you so much for your support,

David

My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding has been extended AGAIN till April 11th, when we have to close because another show is coming into the theatre.

Thank you so much to everyone who's come out to see our musical, whether it was at the Toronto Fringe or at the Panasonic. Thank you for supporting original Canadian theatre and for being such wonderful audiences.

If you haven't seen it, or would like to see it again, Mirvish is now offering $20 tickets to all our final shows - use the code WICCAN20 at www.mmljww.com or at 1-800-461-3333. This is the last chance, so please spread the word!

We've had an amazing experience doing this show - from the real-life proposal onstage, to celebrating the olympic hockey victory with the crowd, and the countless wonderful messages we've received, including the 80-year old Jewish woman who told us that her grandaughter is marrying a woman, and she wasn't okay with it, but after seeing the show, she was. We've been so blessed with such an amazing cast, creative team, band, and audiences - and a wonderful story to tell from my moms. It's been a life changing experience - thank you.
