Said Dramaturg, Ryan G. Hinds, "Nothing reveals a performer as much as solo cabaret, and watching Will Parry share their life via cabaret has been inspiring. Telling stories, being vulnerable, and exploring new artistic territory is a rite of passage for any artist brave enough to try; I know from experience how much Toronto Fringe audiences support cabaret, and am proud to help Will find their voice."
