The Hummer Sisters were founding members of VideoCabaret. The Hummers of 1976-79 (Deanne Taylor, Janet Burke, Marien Lewis, Bobbe Besold) morphed into the Hummers of 1980-88ish (Taylor, Burke, Jennifer Dean), and have since worked together on many productions, but not officially as the Hummers. In 1982, The Hummer Sisters ran for the mayoralty of Toronto against incumbent Art Eggleton on the Art Against Art platform.

The Hummer scripts were written by Deanne Taylor with music by Andrew Paterson or Brent Snyder; the video-environment and staging ideas evolved collaboratively with major contributions by the Hummers, Chris Clifford, Bongo Kolycius, Allan Novak, Keith Holding. Deanne Taylor and Michael Hollingsworth were the Artistic Directors of VideoCabaret until Taylor's death in 2020. Hollingsworth continues as A.D. and playwright at VideoCabaret, which archives the scripts and tapes associated with the Hummer Sisters.
