Part of their Retrospective Series leading up to their 100th anniversary in 2017/18, the Alumnae Theatre Company is proud to present British dramatist Sarah Daniels' THE GUT GIRLS. Surprisingly funny and hard-hitting, this beautifully written piece follows the fortunes of the proud and brash working-class gut girls. When the gutting sheds are shut and their way of life disappears, the girls must try and find a place in the new world order of late Victorian London. Commissioned to write a play that would appeal to unionized workers during the Thatcher era, Daniels’ THE GUT GIRLS explores issues of women’s and workers’ rights, the burden of social expectations, and the struggle for self-worth.

The cast features such seasoned, indie, and emerging artists as Nicole Arends (YPT, Mask Atelier, Tree of Life Theatre), Alexandra Augustine (The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui), Kaya Bucholc (Guild Festival Theatre, title role in Antigone with Alumnae), Mike Hogan (Hart House Theatre, Rarely Pure Theatre), Claire Keating (Gateway Theatre, Ireland), Tasia Loeffler-Vulpe (Randolph Academy), Brendan O’Reilly (Filament Incubator), and Sarah Thorpe (Heretic, Soup Can Theatre), lead by the creative team of Director Maya Rabinovitch (I Will Not Hatch, The Steady State Theatre Project), Set Designer Marysia Bucholc (Dora Nominee – Kafka and Son), Costume/Prop Designer Orly Zebak (Canadian Rep Theatre), and Lighting/Sound Designer Julie Skene (Halloween Haunt, Canada’s Wonderland).

PRAISE FOR THE GUT GIRLS:

"Impressive - a greasy, tough world" - Theatre Room
“Pleasingly riotous ... Perfectly pitched ... [A] solid production” - A Younger Theatre
“Filled with laughter and excitement ... An equal dose of humour and woe ” - The Tab
