“You Are What You Do” returns Dec 4 to 7
Another chance to see 
Artword Theatre’s musical play You Are What You Do
“Beautifully written and directed by Ronald Weihs. … a visually arresting experience. It’s well worth your time.” Gary Smith, Hamilton Spectator
“…Something truly new and original … The cast of six effortlessly portray at least 20 characters that are believable and compelling throughout. In the end though, it is the songs themselves that you carry away with you leaving the theatre. You Are What You Do is a must-see.” Brian Morton, View Magazine
Special price for groups! Book online on the show’s website: www.artword.net/youarewhatyoudo or call Artword 905-548-0341.
“Rascals and Numskulls: The Robert Land Project” is coming February 2009.
