Following an exciting run this August 2016 at the international Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Christopher Wilson's new one-man musical cabaret about becoming a gay foster father to an adolescent black girl plays Toronto for one day only!
In this deeply personal and autobiographical story, a gay, white, suburban man suddenly becomes 'Mr Mom' to an adolescent, black, urban girl. White-knuckled on a roller coaster of teenage angst, this new parent falls off the precipice into the mystery of black hair, menstruation, boyz, and ultimately mental health and addiction. Often comedic but always honest, this one-man musical cabaret is a poignant and sometimes heartbreaking story of love, cultural understanding, and desperately trying to find your way!
