<p> At the moment, we are very excited for a few things on the horizon. First off, <a href="http://baddogtheatre.com/" target="_blank" title="" style="line-height: 1.3em;">Bad Dog Theatre</a> is getting their own space! They are taking over the former Baltic Avenue space at Bloor and Ossington. Their venue Launch Week lifts off August 11 and we are extremely lucky to be opening for our buddies from Vancouver, <a href="http://thesundayservice.ca/" target="_blank" title="" style="line-height: 1.3em;">The Sunday Service</a> on Wednesday August 13. Come see the show, and check out the entire Launch Week schedule <a href="http://baddogtheatre.com/launch-week/" target="_blank" title="">here</a>. We will also be popping into other ensemble formats throughout the week.</p>
<p>We are both joining the expanded and reorganized Bad Dog Theatre Company as individual improvisers. What does that mean? Possible regular shows for the Sufferettes (our personal schedules permitting) and guaranteed involvement in a bunch of other formats they are producing through 2014-2015. This is a big moment for improv in the city, folks. You all should be as excited as we are.</p>

Friends, Torontonians, Countrypeople! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Sufferettes are on the verge of launching our 2014 Tour of Toronto.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After years of spending our springs touring overseas, we have decided to spend this year at home and finally visit all the wonderful comedy shows (and more) in our fair city. Included in the tour are shows we have never done, some classic favourites and a little mutli-disciplinary action. Like what? well, we are designing a set for <a href="http://www.trampolinehall.net/">Trampoline Hall</a>, screening videos at festivals and even interacting with archival video at our VideoHag show at <a href="http://www.videofag.com/">VideoFag</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We also doing shows in various neighbourhoods and even a couple wherein you can come up on stage and do scenes with us!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We are very excited to adventure through our own city as we have through others and hope that you will all come join us. It's a great way to check out this amazing amount of comedy in this city. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
We are totally delighted to report that the play we were in together last year, <a href="http://www.suburbanbeast.ca/all-our-happy-days-are-stupid#">All Our Happy days Are Stupid</a> by <a href="http://www.sheilaheti.net/">Sheila Heti</a>, was nominated for FOUR <a href="http://www.tapa.ca/doras/">Dora Awards</a> this year, Including Best Ensemble in the Indie Division (and what an ensemble it was). This is the first time either of us has been nominated. The whole project was very grassroots and lots of blood, sweat and white paint went into it, so the award nods are really great. And we get to go to the party!<br />
<br />
This on the heels of an announcement that the original cast (of fourteen) will be going down to New York City in February for an American premiere supported by McSweeney's and <a href="http://www.thekitchen.org/">The Kitchen</a>. We can't wait!<br />
<br />

It's here, it's here! The web series we are both in, <a href="http://www.spaceriders.tv/" target="_self" title="">Space Riders: Division Earth</a> came to life today.<br />
Written by and starring two extremely funny and talented men, <a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/DanBeirne" target="_self" title="">Dan Beirne</a> and <a href="http://marklittle.tumblr.com/" target="_self" title="">Mark Little</a>, Space Riders is basically the story of two shmos who turn magic...in a spacey kind of way. It also co-stars <a href="http://amymatysio.com/" target="_self" title="">Amy Matysio</a>, <a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/Kyledooley" target="_self" title="">Kyle Dooley</a> and Eugene Clark. Oh, and Kayla plays an intersex space villain and Becky plays three progressively degenerating clones.<br />
See it now!<br />

Following our victorious trip to London (we are attributing that claim to you, Adam Meggido), we Sufferettes have made some bold moves toward greater personal fame and fortune. Our current strategy looks like this:<br />
<blockquote>
1. Demand twitter followers<br />
2. Demand fan art<br />
3. Buy commanding outfits<br />
Outcome: fame</blockquote>
We followed this by a demand for fan art. Within the last 24 hours, this has paid off mightily. Please join us in marvelling at the fruits of our pushiness thus far.<br />

<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">T</span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">he Sufferettes just wrapped up our very first-ever endurance improv show - 50 straight hours of large-ensemble adventure as part of</span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"> </span><a href="http://thelondonjam.com/" target="_self" title="" style="line-height: 1.3em;">The London Jam</a><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">. What an interesting experience it was. What thrills! What madness! Set on the intergalactic cruise liner, Xanadu, we experience genuine manic hysterics, performed through perceptive hallucinations and galavanted around in a surprising wealth of actual good narrative and relationship. We were extra fortunate to end up in long narrative arcs with old pals</span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"> </span><a href="http://www.chriscraddock.ca/Home.html" target="_self" title="" style="line-height: 1.3em;">Chris Craddock</a><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"> </span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">and</span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"> </span><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/TessDegenstein" target="_self" title="" style="line-height: 1.3em;"></a><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/TessDegenstein" target="_self" title="" style="line-height: 1.3em;">Tess Degenstein</a><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"> </span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">and new pal,</span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"> </span><a href="https://mobile.twitter.com/mralexbartram" target="_self" title="" style="line-height: 1.3em;">Alex Bartram</a><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">. We could get into tales of the hijincks our characters (Dame Heave Garbage and Nurse Fart Garbage from the planet Shrit) got into, but really, it would not make much sense. Also, lots of it is gross.</span></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">Huge thanks to Adam Meggido,</span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"> </span><a href="http://extemporetheatre.com/" target="_self" title="" style="line-height: 1.3em;">Extempore Theatre</a><span style="line-height: 1.3em;"> </span><span style="line-height: 1.3em;">and the entire production and support crew for making the festival and improvathon happen and inviting us into it all. Also to the fantastic cast of improvisers, a great many of whom were unknown to us before our rendezvous in Xanadu. We were blown away!</span></p>

As we prepare for our departure for Europe in a month, let us leave you with this, Toronto - A Sensible Gathering, our sporradic double bill with the fine young men of Big Fella, is going to have one more installment before we go.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

For this show, our special guest is the inimitable David Dineen-Porter.</div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We have also enlisted the help of a crack team of make-up artists and hooligans to help us revive the make-over format we invented for Edomton's Improvaganza last year.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As promised, ticket prices are going up one dollar for each installment of A Sensible Gathering, so this one is $3. Get in on the ground floor before we start charging normal amounts of money!</div>

Friends! It's here! Our brand new video, BEN.<br />
<br />
We decided to release this puppy as part of the 2013 Rapide Fire Theatre Online Video Competition. For that reason, we would love you lots if you watch it, share it, like it, favourite it and/or comment on YouTube. All these things will help keep us in the running.<br />
<br />
Huge thanks are also due to Allison Johnston who co-wrote, shot and edited the thing, Kathleen Phillips who joined us as a special guest star, Jesse Morrison who did the sound recording, The Bicylces and Morgan Waters for lending us music and Reverend Aitor for letting us invade his home to shot it.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">While you all are swooning over the Oscars, The Sufferettes have been working on a new video project. There's a little on set still above to pique your curiosity.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We are hustling to get this done in time to enter the <a href="http://www.rapidfiretheatre.com/videos/2013-online-video-competition/">Rapid Fire Theatre Online Video Competition</a>. We are also hoping to submit this (or maybe something else if we want to make ourselves really busy) to the <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/329516/">2013 Laugh Sabbath Film Festival</a> in June. Both of these companies are totally worth checking out for their prolific video <em>and</em> live work. Laugh Sabbath is also currently running an <a href="http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/329516/">indiegogo campaign</a> to fund their festival. You can pick up cool perks like cheap tickets to their live shows that come with complimentary drinks! Of course you can always <a href="http://www.rapidfiretheatre.com/contact-us/support-us/">donate</a> to support any of the programming Rapid Fire, does, too. They can give you a tax receipt!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh, and when we say we are hustling, we actually mean our incredible director and editor and sound mixer, <a href="http://vimeo.com/user8673700">Allison Johnston</a>, is hustling. Holy crap, is she amazing!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You should also check out our luminous guest star, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/kathleenphillips">Kathleen Phillips</a>, while you wait for this vid to drop. She's a treat and a half.</div>

A huge thank you to Reverend Aitor for delivering this absolutely stunning tour poster to us recently. The retired Reverend is notoriously difficult to find these days, so we are deeply honoured that he decided to take this project on with such fervour.</div>

He also decided to name our 2013 tour 'Half Hearted'. Hopefully this name does not speak to our skill or commitment. We happily accept most insinuations of our dual brokenness.</div>
