(Sponsored Article) Funny hit musical [Title of Show] being produced in Toronto by Angelwalk Theatre

September 27th, 2010

By

When people think of musical theatre and Toronto, far too often they think the only options are great big companies like Mirvish or Dancap, but the truth is there are small companies who are producing great work with affordable ticket prices and fantastic performances.

One of those companies is Angelwalk Theatre, and right now they are presenting Jeff Bowen and Hunter Bell’s [Title of Show].  Musical theatre with catchy tunes, lots of laughs, and all sorts of meta goodness (a show about writing a show about writing a show about writing a show…  well you get the idea).

The show is running until Sunday October 10, 2010 at the Toronto Centre for the Arts with ticket prices starting as low as $25.  In fact, a limited number of rush tickets are now available for all Saturday Matinee performances for $20 (cash only) at the Box Office. 

Check out the details of the show below:

Thank you so much to our sponsor Picture It Picture Books. We appreciate the support. Here’s a bit more information about them; please take the time to give it a quick read-through!

Picture It Picture Books is an independent Toronto-based publisher specializing in children’s picture books. The most important part about Picture It Picture Books is that they don’t have any pictures! We give our readers the opportunity to illustrate their very own books. By visualizing the images to a story as it unfolds and then committing those images to paper, readers engage with our texts in a meaningful, physical way. This increases reading comprehension and encourages readers to apply what they’ve learned to their own lives.

Our books are available online at Amazon.com, via our website, or in Toronto at Planet Kid in Roncesvalles and baby on the hip in Leslieville. Our books will also soon be available at major Indigo stores in the GTA! Check out our website for updates on our Indigo launch!

At Mooney on Theatre we are grateful for the support from our sponsors. We hope that to reward their support of the arts in Toronto you go and check out their show.

I’m talking about The Whores at the Toronto Fringe Festival. The show has been getting some positive buzz. I am hearing great things and hope I get a chance to see it.

Darreck Chua, the president of the board for the Toronto Fringe Festival (aka, the Toronto Fringe God) named this one as a play to see.

And, an awesome added bonus, A portion of the proceeds from these performances will go to support Maggie’s Toronto, an advocacy group for sex workers.
