WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
There's nothing like the thrill of a first date...anything can happen! In the brand new play Blind Date, you'll experience all the excitement and awkwardness of love as Mimi, a Parisian temptress, goes on a blind date with a different date every night - plucked right out of the audience! Mimi brings the willing man up on stage and activates their imagination, exploring their version of romance - they are invited to PLAY, to DARE TO FALL IN LOVE, and SHARE A LIFETIME. It's thrilling, saucy, breath-taking, and completely DANGEROUS and INSANE...just like LOVE.
Straight from a critically acclaimed, sold-out run in Toronto, this fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants fusion of clown, improvisation, theatre, and social experiment is sure to make you "shriek with laughter" while falling in love with Mimi and her man! Called, "A flight of theatrical fancy that is absolutely magical" by the Toronto Star this "must-see performance" (part burlesque, part Match.com, part Lucille Ball) will delight men and women alike! Blind Date is the perfect date night or evening out with friends. This hit Canadian import with "the comic agility of the Saturday Night Live legends" is strictly limited to 18 performances only - buy your tickets today!

RE: A one of a kind theatrical jewel
Blind date is an extraordinary excursion into the blossoming of love, intimacy and the work it takes to grow that into something lasting... all in a single night.
Rebecca Northans Mimi is at once charming, insightful and uncompromising in her ability to create theatre that happens not just one stage but within every audience member.
Each night is a one of a kind event that will leave you feeling more connected to your fellow man. In short, Blind Date is filled more true holiday spirit than a barrel full of Christmas Carols!

Rebecca Northan is performing a public service in her improv-based showBlind Date, now at Ars Nova, in which she plays a stood-up French hottie named Mimi the Clown (complete with red rubber nose). While the piece might sound like one of those bachelorette-party gimmicks, Northan is essentially a couples therapist -- working preventively on the male half of a couple that may or may not as yet exist.
Even before the audience piles into the tiny theater -- where they will be plied with complimentary wine and popcorn to the strains of mellow Gallic pop -- Mimi is cruising the crowd, seeking a substitute blind date for the 90-minute exploration to come.
