Expect a super professional event but not a Rom Com because as Dina says, “Don’t Tell Me What to Do” but whatever she does in the theatre you can be sure It’s a Big Deal. She’s always Tougher Than the Rest and has told us that “You’re Gonna Love This” no matter what she does.
Dina Del Bucchia is the author of five collections of poetry, Coping With Emotions and Otters (Talonbooks, 2013), Blind Items (Insomniac Press, 2014), Rom Com (Talonbooks, 2015), written with Daniel Zomparelli, It's A Big Deal! (Talonbooks, 2019), and You're Gonna Love This (Talonbooks, 2019). She also hosts Can’t Lit, a podcast on Canadian literature and culture, with Jen Sookfong Lee.
