Like punk? Riot Grrrl? Feminism? Comedy about all that and major life transitions? Come see my play
“Recipe for a Riot Grrrl” at the 35th, juried New Ideas Festival of new Canadian plays, in Toronto, March 22-26, 2023.
Synopsis: When the leader of a ’90s Riot Grrrl band decides to quit and become a baker, her sister and bandmate fights to save their feminist punk rock dream. Will the “Filthy Sonic Surfer Girls” ride again, or is “Revolution girl style now” just fair trade chocolate and silicone bakeware?
Lawrie Carruthers and Natalie Stephenson star as Kathy and Allison (aka “Excreta”). Dora-award-winner Ian Prinsloo directs. Assistant director and stage manager, John Acuna.
Watch this 50-second clip (Riot Grrrl Natalie Stephenson FB version – SD 480p ) of Natalie talking about her character and what she thinks audiences will take away from the show.
Tickets $15. Location: Alumnae Theatre, 70 Berkeley St., Toronto, near King & Adelaide St. (@alumnaetheatre) #NIF #NIF2023 #melstevenson #mel_stevenson
