Parry's acclaimed show SPIN, which features a bicycle played as a musical instrument (played by percussionist Brad Hart), charts the feminist history of the bicycle, and tells the story of Annie Londonderry, first woman to ride around the world on a bike in 1895.

[1] Parry writes and performs with the acclaimed feminist theatre collective Independent Aunties with Anna Chatterton and Karin Randoja.

[2] The Independent Aunties other productions have been produced by Buddies in Bad Times (Clean Irene and Dirty Maxine—winner of Best New Play at SummerWorks, 2002); Theatre Passe Muraille (Frances, Mathilda and Tea, The Mysterious Shorts); The Theatre Centre (Breakfast—Dora Mavor Moore Award nomination); and The Cooking Fire Festival (Robbers’ Daughters).

The Aunties’ Gertrude and Alice was co-produced with Buddies in Bad Times Theatre in March 2016; Parry was appointed artistic director of Buddies in Bad Times, a queer theatre company in Toronto, in 2015, succeeding Brendan Healy.

Prior to leaving, Parry said that she hoped the company would pursue other leadership models rather than having a traditional 'artistic director'.

[4] Steeped in the folk tradition but born to innovate, Parry's genre-blurring work is inspired by intersections of social activism, history and autobiography, exploring themes that range from 19th century cycling heroines to bottled water, from queer identity to the quest for the Northwest Passage.
