Canadian actor, writer, and comedian Kayla Subica hits NYC this November to bring the international premiere of her critically lauded solo show Breaking News From Little Portugal: Everyone’s a Puta (Even Your Grandma) to the New York Solo Festival. Delve into the cultish world of Toronto’s Little Portugal, with the remarkable true story of how Subica sought to find her estranged Portuguese grandmother after two decades apart. Subica, who hosted Tech ER on Canadian television and starred as Gwen in the docudrama Harold and Lorna, seamlessly takes on multiple characters with warmth, humour, and insight.

Breaking News from Little Portugal explores what happens when the family unit is stressed, divided, and even estranged. “Although it’s set in Toronto’s Little Portugal district, the show is quite relatable to any immigrant family,” Subica explains. “The characters will represent someone in your life, whether it’s a family member, a friend’s parent, an old teacher, or a boss you wish you’d never had.”
