A Woman Of My Age

Love So Far Poster - 1200x675.PNG

From Fringe favourite and acclaimed performer Christel Bartelse- comes a bold new storytelling show that’s equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and deeply human. Known for her dynamic physicality and powerful stage presence, Bartelse now strips it all back to share something more personal—a candid, captivating journey through birthdays, milestones, and the wild, winding path of life.


With humour, vulnerability, and a touch of back pain, she unpacks the good decisions, questionable choices, and unexpected turns that shape a middle-aged woman’s sense of self. Age is just a number... and back pain.

We recognize this gathering place where we create and perform theatre is home to many past, present, and future First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. Our acknowledgement of the land is our declaration of our collective responsibility to this place and its peoples’ histories, rights, and presence.
