TORONTO, June 17, 2021– Sandy Daley’s “Chronicles of a Black Woman: A Sketch Comedy will screen virtually at the 2021 Toronto Fringe Festival, July 21-31. The one-woman animated digital stage play stars writer, producer, director and actress, Sandy Daley. The always groundbreaking award-winning artist leans on her own experiences as a Caribbean woman, single mother and storyteller for the project. The one-woman show sees Daley portray three different characters, an Afrocentric black woman, a Caribbean woman and a single mother. Daley brings these characters to life with a mix of raw emotions & the truth of our reality. The multi-talented Actress, and Producer instantly relates to her audiences, a relationship & comfortability that Daley’s fans have come to know. A relationship that comes from deeply personal performances, in this case, that delves into the feelings of black women as they navigate a society that is fraught with systemic racism.
