Synopsis
A bevy of bodacious women share their personal stories and perspectives on love, beauty and aging at the Disarming Venus exhibit. Deftly weaving together a blend of drama, comedy, puppetry and music, the ladies of Act 3 Theatre will take the audience on a roller coaster of emotions with their poignant, inspirational and comedic scenes. Disarming Venus has sex (batteries sold separately), drugs (do CBD gummies count?), rock and roll (we still love to party!) It’s a fun filled Game of Crones (without the blood and gore!) LET THE GAMES BEGIN! (fringetoronto.com)
