A Woman Is...
Performing at the Edmonton Fringe Festival
August 16 - 24 2025
All about Kiki’s relationship with her larger-than-life mother, Canadian actress Jo Hutchings, A Woman Is… addresses universal experiences as it follows the story of one woman.
Sharing three generations of backstage stories — from summer stock to performing at every shopping mall in Canada to Broadway — Kiki shows the love, laughter, and learning that animated a family where role conflict could be a literal thing.
