CHERI Comes to The Toronto Fringe Festival

Sky Gilbert (3-time Dora Award Winner, and recipient of the Pauline McGibbon Award and Silver Ticket Winner) teams up with Theresa Tova (Ragtime, Tough Jews, president of ACTRA Toronto) for a musical collaboration of Cheri

An aging courtesan named Lea (Theresa Tova) is performing a musical about her checkered past -- passion, love and the ever important issue: what are the best fashion choices for a woman who is no longer young? During her performance Lea is triggered by the beauty of her young male accompanist (Dustin Peters) who reminds her of a lover from many years ago -- Cheri.

Cheri deals with topics of women's sexuality and aging while asking; what is the true nature of love? Why does a person fall in love with someone who could potentially hurt them or use them? Is there ever a time when one should intervene? Can you ever really stop yourself from falling for the wrong person, and if so, how?

Don't miss this feverish femme-fatale spectacular!
