Who said you can take the girl out of Brampton but not take Brampton out of the girl?

And can this really be considered a feat when, after all, people have learned to walk and chew gum at the same time?

While Tracy Dawson is no stranger to parading successful solo comedy pieces, Them & Us is the Second City alumnist’s first full length play featuring burlesque vignettes with four actors taking on 30 different characters.

The comic tragedy vehicle is sexy, raunchy, and painfully honest. All of which is aimed at helping men and women understand the opposite sex by meditating on the difficulties and hilarity of trying to love.

Dawson, who cites Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Diane Keaton as bold inspirations that taught her to push the boundaries of silliness, thinks it’s high time that people address the issues surrounding love, relationships, the inability to connect, as well as the heartbreak and humour that go along with it.

So if you never thought that a facetious femme fatale from north of Highway 407 and west of Highway 410 could rightfully land herself a gig on Ryerson Avenue and make us take a long, hard look in the mirror, it’s wisely suggested that you think again!

Tracy Dawson is the real deal. Them & Us is the real message.
