Celebrate Delectable Divas in Hart House
March 2nd, 2007 by Natasha
Last year during the annual “clubs” fair I won a nifty ball-point pen from the University of Toronto Bookstore kiosk for answering the following trivia question: When were women first granted access to Hart House?
What shocked me most was not the exceptional quality of the pen (or the fact that I still received it even after answering the question incorrectly). It was, instead, the astonishing answer to the trivia question: Women were not granted full access to Hart House until 1972!
With International Women’s Day approaching, celebrate 35 years of women in Hart House by to attending an evening here appreciating phenomenal women alongside delicious complementary desserts.
“Narrated by kitch queens “The Suffragette Chicks”, this event will give us this history lesson in a tongue and cheek style laced with fabulous entertainment chronicling women from Nellie McClung to Madonna in theatrical vignettes. The line up features song sirens Jenni Burke, Kira Callahan and Eliana Cuevas, Tango and Swing Dancers from the Van Arden Arts Group, burlesque troup Skin Tight Outta Sight and the modern day muse Nicole Stamp.”
What: Delectable Divas V: “An Evening of Phenomenal Women”
Where: Hart House Great Hall
When: Friday March 9th, 8 PM
Cost: $10, tickets available from UofTtix
And after sampling the “array of free delicious desserts”, you’ll truly be grateful for that Hart House gym membership!
