DEAR [Rhona Raskin]: I come from "white trash." Baby-making and hard-living is all my family ever did. As a result, I got married and had a baby at 17, another marriage and baby eight years later, and another marriage and baby five years after that. In between I scraped and scrimped to go to university (the first in my family) and got a good job. My third husband comes from a well-educated, upper-class family. His family looks down at me. Although my husband knew my past, he didn't realize that he would be so embarrassed by my multiple marriages and children by three fathers until after "his own" child started school and we became friends with other families.

In the past, women in 'Ain al-Qasis worked in the home or on the family farm. Their skills were essential to their families' well-being. A very few women, most of them single or widowed, supported themselves through careers such as dressmaking; several married women supplemented their husbands' incomes through activities such as knitting, crocheting, or making kishk (a soup mix made from yogurt and wheat). Today, most married women are still housewives, although they may also engage in some sort of charitable activity. However, work on the farm is a thing of the past. This shift reflects, in part, the diversification of the local economy and increased hiring of day labor. Moreover, attitudes have changed. Farm work is thought of as hard, dirty physical work that is unsuitable for women;...

After being bitten by a spider and gaining 50 pounds (it's a long story), California lawyer [James Judd] is sent to a glorified fat camp in Florida by his mother, where he is shocked to meet up with his four Mormon aunts -- "the Mo-Mo Sisterhood." Judd is not only not Mormon; he's an openly gay, childless-by-choice man living with his Puerto Rican partner (whom the aunts call his "Spanish friend"). It's only a matter of time before the culture clash comes to a head. Those willing to brave the perils of a "feminist play" will find California's Suzanne Willett an able performer. She alternates among four characters, including the whip-wielding Feminazi. There's Sarah, the 43-year-old suburban mother who plays bad feminist folk songs at her coffeehouse open mic. And there's the Virgin Mary...

It's the seventh year for this fringe mainstay, a collage of short stand-up routines by some of the city's professional comics. You've got likable prairie boy Warren Persowich, geeky Rob Bruneau, Selkirk's Charlie Onyske and show producer Jason Beck. Dallas has many astute and hilarious observations about the strange gaps between British and Canadian cultures, but just as often she relies on scattershot references that get a reaction just because we're so pleased to have someone take an interest ("She's talking about us!"). It's worth a dekko, but hardly brill. HHH [Steve Larkin] scores a grand slam with his lambasting of women's magazines. "It's all about the fat, and sex, and fat, and sex; the fat sex, the fat sex," he raps before launching into a fake-orgasm finale to rival Meg Ryan'...
