Two plays by CBC star Bilal Baig to hit the stage next year in Toronto
Two plays by the creator of the acclaimed CBC Gem dramedy are part of the upcoming 2025/2026 season for Buddies in Bad Times Theatre.
The Toronto theatre describes 'Kainchee Lagaa + Jhooti: The Begging Brown Bitch Plays' as two unflinching stories of brown trans women caught between worlds.
Baig's CBC hit ended in 2023 after three seasons that focused on a gender-expansive Torontonian juggling a floundering career and love life.
The new works are described as about 'lying, sex, and rebirthing oneself: over and over and over again.'
They make their world premiere in April 2026 as a co-production by A House of Beida and Buddies, a downtown theatre dedicated to amplifying and developing queer stories for the stage.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 24, 2025.
