`’3 Artists Search for a Festival (Code White Theatre) 2013 Toronto Fringe Festival

3artists

Code White Theatre‘s Toronto Fringe Festival entry 3 Artists Search for a Festival is a delightful short play, taking its audience to see just what sort of desperation can besets performers in the fifteen minutes before showtime.

The play opens in a rush, as actors Leah Holder and Mandy E. MacLean rush to join their director (Matthew James Hines) at a table in a tent in the alley at Honest Ed’s. Only fifteen minutes remain before the curtain will rise on the next performance of the three’s Fringe show, barely enough time for them to go over the director’s notes scene by scene.

Kid +1: A Midsummer Night’s Dream…A Puppet Epic! 2013 Toronto Fringe Review

1 Comment

A Midsummer Night's Dream...A Puppet Epic. Shakey and ZipWhen I told my four and a half year old son, Max, we were going to a play at FringeKids! he was ecstatic.

Now, in the regular Fringe reviewing time for MoT this show already got a great review by a grown up, so this is going to focus mostly on what the kids thought.

Megan Loves: Assassinating Thomson (Monster Theatre) 2013 Toronto Fringe

3 Comments

bruce_horak_assassinating_thomson4Okay, so, that title of this article sounds a little strange, since this is the first in what I imagine will be a series of pieces in a “Megan Loves” series.

Obviously what I’m saying is I loved Monster Theatre’s piece currently at Toronto Fringe, written and performed by Bruce Horak, which happens to be called Assassinating Thomson. While there is much speculation around the iconic Canadian artist’s death, I can confirm absolutely and without a doubt that *I* did not kill the man.

I loved this show. Which is good, because I’ve been dying to see it since I first heard of it, and sometimes being that excited about a piece can set me up for disappointment.
