ABoUT THE SHOW
The future is here, & it’s female! SHE THE PEOPLE: GIRLFRIENDS’ GUIDE TO SISTERS DOING IT FOR THEMSELVES is a biting two-act show created, designed, performed, and directed by the fearlessly funny women of The Second City. Hot off the heels of its smash hit Chicago run and currently playing at Second City Toronto, She the People gleefully roasts the patriarchy, taking on everything from having it all to having that sick feeling your government is trying to send you back to the Middle Ages. This fast-paced, razor-sharp revue seamlessly
blends comedy, music and improvisation with witty, whip-smart commentary on the female experience. “She the People finds the funny in the mountain of micro and macro aggressions women face daily, making it equal parts hilarious, cathartic, and above all, necessary,” explains director Carly Heffernan, who also co-wrote and starred in the original Second City Chicago production. “It’s a response to the moment we’re living in right now. And what makes it unique is that this time, it’s women writing and telling telling these stories.”
