Operation Sunshine (2017)

Toronto, 2014. I stripped and rescued 179 women from the dank bathroom walls in the basement of my childhood home. The SUNshine Girls, models who posed for the Toronto SUN newspaper from 1988-1991, and their reverse news articles come to life. They provide the catalyst for true and fictional stories about the objectification of women, children in peril and gender-based violence. Experience a bygone era of Toronto as a child of the city navigates sites of danger in this dark comedy and coming-of-age story. (Toronto Fringe Festival program)
