LADIES' DAY at VideoCabaret - Deanne Taylor Theatre

FOUR-TIME 2026 DORA NOMINEES 1EAST PRODUCTIONS BRINGS SUBURBAN DRAMEDY "LADIES' DAY" TO TORONTO FRINGE

Windsor, 1966. Every Thursday, a group of suburban housewives trade their aprons for cold beers, cigarettes, and dirty jokes at the neighbourhood’s first backyard pool. "Ladies’ Day" is a riotous, booze-fueled escape from domesticity— but underneath the laughter and Labatt's, our gals navigate alcoholism, hidden desires, and the quiet suffocation of lives lived for everyone else.

Inspired by the playwright's grandmother's real-life Ladies' Days. A brand new play about what "the good old days" really looked like on the inside, and what happens when women stop performing happiness long enough to find each other.

From the creators of Romeo Pimp (four 2025/26 Dora Mavor Moore nominations including Outstanding New Play), Cheap Wine (Audience Choice TOSketchfest 2025, Sketchiest Sketch Troupe TOSketchfest 2023), and Pride & Prejudice (a new adaptation premiered by Wren Theatre).
