PERKY is on her way to Fredericton, New Brunswick, and she needs YOUR HELP!
At Notable Acts, Perky will be operating as a Fringe Production! This means we need the support of fundraisers and ticket sales to fund our travel, creation, and production needs!!!
If you are able to donate, like, or share this fundraiser, your help would be so greatly appreciated. <3
Thank you for your time, and for investing in the bright & sexy future of queer, joyful, Canadian Theatre :)

A Bit About the Play:
Perky is a coming-of-age comedy about a 19-year-old girl on the hunt for her first orgasm. Lost in the maze of her mind, far beyond her childhood bedroom, Perky is led on a wild-goose chase by the mysterious(ly sexy), Fantasy Lesbian. From Doctor Who to Draco, Perky is a night(mare) you’ll never forget…
PERKY premiered at the Ottawa Fringe Festival, June 15th-25th, 2023.
Directed by: Madeleine Scovil
Sound Designed by: Isabella Robert
Dramaturgy by: Allison Moira Kelly & Madeleine Scovil
Written, created by, and starring: Megan Murphy & Leanna Williams
Produced by Will & Murph Productions

A Bit About Us:
Leanna & Megan are fresh-off graduation from the National Theatre School of Canada, and they are bringing Perky to Megan’s hometown theatre festival: Notable Acts.
Leanna and Megan are two queer multidisciplinary artists (both under 22, both from opposite ends of the country!), and the creation/writing partners of Perky. Born and raised in Saskatchewan, Leanna makes her home in Kingston, ON. Following Perky, Megan (a Fredericton local), will be making their way to Toronto, ON.
