Description:
Now You See Her nominated for three Dora Mavor Moore Awards; Outstanding New Play, Outstanding Costume Design & Outstanding Sound Design/Composition.
Now You See Her named one of Toronto's Top Ten Plays of 2018 by the Toronto Star.
Six diverse women's voices merge into one devastating (and funny) portrait of modern feminism.
They are the invisible, the vanishing, and the disappeared. In an insurrectionary outburst of original music, words, and movement, the six characters in Now You See Her explore some of the diverse ways women fade from sight in our culture. They sing, dance, and thrust themselves into the elements as they travel through the seasons of their lives. Their voices are defiant. Their question is simple: why and how do we allow our power to disappear without a fight?
Now You See Her follows Quote Unquote Collective's acclaimed international hit Mouthpiece.

Review Quotes:
"It's an engrossing and virtuosic performance, layered with meaning and culminating in a silent scream that any woke person -- male, female or undefined by arbitrary binaries -- will recognize from their own confused, complicated and conflicting mind." --Carly Maga, Toronto Star, on Mouthpiece
