by Linda A. Carson, Jill Daum, Alison Kelly, Robin Nichol, Barbara Pollard and Deborah Williams
Put five mothers in a room and ask them to describe motherhood and you’re sure to get an earful!
Part comedy, part variety show, these women share their best and most hilarious personal confessions about the sleepless nights, the kissed booboos, the mushbrain, the libido strain, the breastmilk malfunctions, the diaper horror stories – all the chaos, absurdity, heartache, and wonder of motherhood they could fit into two short hours.
Created in 1994 for Vancouver’s “Women In View” festival, this award-winning performance has been a fan favourite at international comedy festivals and is performed globally in a variety of languages.

Rita Leistner, a Toronto and Montreal-based award-winning photographer, has worked in numerous warzones as a conflict photographer. In 2003, she trekked the mountains from Turkey to cover the war in Iraq. She attributes the physical and mental conditioning this work required to her ten years of working as a tree planter. More recently, over the course of four years, Leistner embedded with a community of tree planters during which time they planted 45 million trees on 26,000 hectares of land, an area equivalent to 48,000 football fields. Documenting the demands of planting and the planters themselves, Leistner has created a remarkable body of work that positions her subjects as environmental heroes, forever changed by their experiences.

thought about how and where I want to spend my time. I’m really excited to bring
this tour to as many places as possible. I can’t wait to reconnect with all of the
people that have supported me all of these years in a more intimate concert
