Sandra Shamas "Wit"erary reading at the Library

On Friday, April 25 at 6 p.m., the Performing Arts Lecture Series concludes with giggles and gales of laughter emerging from the open doors of the Toronto Reference Library, 789 Yonge Street, as comedienne Sandra Shamas performs and enlightens while reading from her new book Wit’s End.

Shamas is a brilliant comedic storyteller who pokes fun at her own (and our own) foibles in an earthy, engaging, honest and deadly funny way, never losing sight of the fundamental importance of loyalty, affection, and love. She has played to sold-out houses across Canada with her hilarious one-woman shows, including breaking box-office records at the 1000-seat Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto. Her most recent publication is Wit's End. The program, which was originally scheduled for earlier this month, had to be rescheduled due to ice storms closing roads near the Shamas farm.

The Performing Arts Lecture Series is sponsored by Starbucks Coffee Canada in cooperation with the library and in celebration of the performing arts in Canada.

All events are free. For complete program information call Answerline at 416-393-7131.
