A Tart on Tour will take the audience on a trip down memory lane from the early days of Theatre Corporate to a Girls Gotta Eat in the 90's.  Written by Paul Sonne and Andrea Kelland. 

The show includes snippets of material from the various theatre companies and runs in parallel with Andrea's own life always searching for excitement and drug-fueled parties. - The Ultimate Good Time. The show explores friendship and ambition, risk-taking and courage, soul searching and surrender.

It's a sequel to Andrea's previous show "Random Shagger" which premiered at The Tiny Theatre at Garnet Station, Westmere for The Pride Festival in 2019. RS had the delicious Hilz King as musician and Deb Filler as co-writer and Director.

The title of the show stems from the concept of the word Tart, the connotations of the word from Shakespeare's "That which we call a Tart by any other name would taste as sweet"

As Deb Filler wrote: This show is about Tarts, gooey, juicy, jammy, caramel, custard, sticky, yummy, lemony, but bittersweet, easy peasy, slutty, slovenly, trampy, vampy, floozy, boozy, not so fussy hussy. You want a taste?  Careful how you answer that question.  This tart's not cheap. Some people think touring in theatre … so glamorous, touring in luxury buses, planes, boats and trains, to tell you the truth It was such a relief to get off that treadmill, from being sexy tart, homeless tart, gypsy tart, druggy tart, French Tart, boozy tart...Ozzie Tart…

You must be wondering why I'm doing it all again?
