WE THE MEN Comes to Toronto Fringe

Exploring the private and real conversations happening right now between men as they investigate whether the sexes are coming closer together or moving further apart.

In 2017 show co-creator and director Tracey Erin Smith took 54 women on the Soulomobile, Soulo Theatre's storytelling bus, to the Women's March on Washington and now feels the need to check in on how men are doing since the revolutionary movement. This brand new and groundbreaking show from the award-winning SOULO Theatre is an outrageous comedy where 8 women walk in the shoes of men in an attempt to capture the state of men in North America.

"We need for all genders to come together to engage in a conversation... or else further gender polarization - and its resulting consequences - will ensue." - Lisa Kimmel, The Globe and Mail.

The script is based on REAL conversations with REAL men, exploring the backlash towards the #metoo movement while sharing their own stories. With a culturally and artistically diverse cast, the story brings together 8 'men' (women who have been theatrically transformed into men) for a weekend of beers, bonfires, confessions and a few tears.

ABOUT SOULO THEATRE

Winner of BEST SMALL THEATRE - NOW Magazine, Reader's Choice

SOULO Theatre is the brainchild of award-winning (Broadway World Award) actor, director, writer and dramaturg Tracey Erin Smith. Through SOULO, Tracey has created and directed dozens of show with professional and non-professional actors alike, helping people transform raw material from their lives into creative personal storytelling performances. Tracey's DUDE FOR A DAY - DRAG KING WORKSHOP is an ongoing Toronto favourite, inspiring women to find their "masculine" strengths and privileges through often crude behaviour, facial hair and mansplaining. Now, the workshop has grown into a fully-fledged production, with 8 women (playing men) from a variety of backgrounds creating a laugh-out-loud satirical show based on real conversations with men. It's a unique approach to bridging the gender gap.
