Happy Canada Day!! I hope my Canadian readers and members are having a lovely day off! Not only is today a holiday, but it’s opening night for my new show!! I’ve been hard at work over the last month working on a new musical called Breadwinner by Megan Benjafield as a part of the Toronto Fringe Festival and the time has finally come for us to have an audience. I’m so excited!!
Our amazing director Megan (who also wrote the show) put together a top 10 list of reasons to see it and I loved it so much that I’m posting it here!
Top 10 Reasons to Come See Breadwinner at the Toronto Fringe
10. You've read one of the dozens of articles in the current media about "The End of Men", or "The Alpha Woman" and want to know what all the fuss is about.
9. You are the female breadwinner in your relationship, and you want to see yourself reflected on stage.
8. You miss your girlfriends and don't want to wait for your next annual girls' weekend to feel that bond!
7. Your wife makes more than you do and you don't understand her.
6. You know someone in the cast, band or crew! (You know you owe it to them to see their work, they've come and seen yours!)
5. You try to catch all of the Fringe Musicals every year.
4. You want to hear some funky music, some contemporary ballads, a comedic group song and a character song, from some killer singers.
3. You want to see lively discussions from dishes to boners.
2. You want to be one of the first people talking about it at the Fringe tent.
1. There will definitely be things to talk about after you leave the theatre!

So cute -- convinced me! :) Shaun and I are definitely going to try to make it out. Break a leg, pretty lady!
Hope your first show is awesome - sure it will be. If I lived in Toronto I would be there! Enjoy!
And Happy Canada Day to you too :o)
Nice Top 10! If I lived closer I'd go see it. Hope it goes well. Break a leg!
Hi Ashley! Great blog!
I'm really excited to see your show Saturday night - I know Megan Benjafield through a really good friend of mine (Shaila) and we're both coming the show this Saturday night - and of course the beer tent afterwards!! Have a great show!!
