Virgin, the play, is written, directed, produced and performed by Humber's very own Faculty of Liberal Arts professor, Alyson Renaldo. Through endless mental fumblings and 'impure thoughts', a woman relies on humour to answer the difficult question of what her place is in this world. The play premiered in Los Angeles, then had its Canadian premiere in Toronto. It is returning for a limited run at The Native Earth Performing Arts Centre, downtown Toronto, October 18 to 22.
