Mum And The Big C – Toronto Fringe 2012 Press Release

From Press Release

Singing Strong in association with The Toronto Fringe Festival presents the play
Mum And The Big C

Ripley is torn between taking care of her mum and killing her. Mum and the Big C is a romantic
comedy about a no-strings attached, playgirl lesbian relegated back to the sedentary burbs to
nurse her mom who’s hell-bent on marrying her off, and finds herself fenced in with lies when
she unwittingly shags her mother’s oncologist.

Starring:

ELVIRA KURT
Canadian Comedy Award winner, three-time Gemini Award nominated stand-up comic as seen
on Jay Leno, Q, Just For Laughs, HBO, The Comedy Network and anything else funny…

JANET-LAINE GREEN
Five-time Gemini Award winner with two Genie Awards, star of She’s the Mayor, Seeing Things
and This is Wonderland… she was even on The Beachcombers!

MEGAN FAHLENBOCK
Star of feature film The Baby Formula, animated series Totally Drama Island and 6Teen, Being
Erica, Suits, Warehouse 13… and the sassiest voice ever!

TREVOR HAYES
Gemini nominated for IFC’s The Business, Flashpoint, the Genie-nominated The Wild Hunt and
just wrapped Penthouse North with Michael Keaton… plays a whopping four roles for us.

What on earth is this ALL-STAR CAST doing in our FRINGE play?!
Come see… or better yet, ask them yourself! They love to chitchat with the media. We can’t get
them to zip it even during rehearsals.

Our cast and crew are simply titillated to mount the world premiere of this original work,
adapted from a screenplay by filmmaker Lynne Kamm. Lynne admits to having a mom – to
whom she has promised absolutely none of this material is based on … err…

This is a play for everyone who has a mother!

Production Designer John William Eckert, Costume Designer Ginger Martini, Artwork Kim Hurter
