Winter Garden Theatre Extends WITS END III Through 3/13

Due to popular demand, Sandra Shamas's new show, Wit's End III: LOVE LIFE, will be extended by two more weeks, even before it has had its first performance.  Wit's End III: LOVE LIFE begins performances on February 16 (previews February 16 to 18; media night Saturday, February 19 at 8 PM), and will now play until March 13 at Toronto's famed Winter Garden Theatre.
 
One of Canada's most celebrated comic artists, Sandra came into her own as a performer, writer and producer in the mid 1980s with My Boyfriend's Back and There's Gonna Be Laundry. From its very first performance at the Edmonton Fringe, the show was a smash success, eventually touring the country and even playing the legendary Old Vic Theatre in London, England (the first Canadian show to have that distinction in the theatre's long history). Two more Laundry plays followed, each playing to sold-out houses across Canada; the trilogy eventually published and shortlisted for the Governor General's Award and the Stephen Leacock Award for Humour. Sandra won a Gemini Award in 1991 for Best Performance in Comedy, and won the Best Theatre Award at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in March 2003.
 
After some time away from the spotlight, Sandra returned to performing with Wit's End, a show that chronicled her move to country living. It played 11 sold-out weeks at the 1,000-seat Winter Garden and then toured to major theatres across the country.. It was followed by Wit's End II: Heart's Desire, which enjoyed similar success.
 
Wit's End III: LOVE LIFE continues Sandra's story. She is still on The Farm, still dealing with everything life throws at her. With brilliant insight, Sandra tackles every hurdle, and along the way she pokes fun at her own foibles in an earthy, honest and hilarious way. From exploring changes in her body as she ages, to dealing with the delicate negotiations of purchasing the perfect little red tractor, to hiring someone to help with the heavy farm machinery, Sandra never loses sight of the importance of loyalty, humour and love.
