Megan loves being in the thick of all things theatre, but her ultimate goal is to promote theatre to the world of non-theatre people. It was the same when she was the theatre writer for blogTO, or the Fringe Correspondent for CBC Radio One‘s Here and Now, as it is as the founder of Mooney on Theatre. Her basic belief is that there is theatre/performance out there for everyone to love, they just need to find it. This is not to be confused with the idea that everyone should love theatre for theatre’s sake, in fact, as obsessed as she is with theatre, even *she* doesn’t love all types of theatre.

Reviews of shows in the 2010 Toronto Fringe Festival

There are a few different places to get reviews for Fringe, but only two that are going to cover every shows.

The first is Mooney on Theatre, and the second is EYE WEEKLY

Check back regularly to see what new reviews have been posted.  EYE has more writers so will likely get stuff up a bit quicker than us, but ours will be a bit longer and more details.

I suggest you check out both. 

Reviews will be posted in chronological order, so, if you’re looking for a review of a specific show I suggest you use the search box in the left column.

Enjoy!

Want more information about a 2010 Toronto Fringe show?

Well, you’ve come to the right place.  Let’s be honest, the little blurb available to people through the Fringe listings on the website and program listings often doesn’t tell you much about the show.

That’s why we are publishing all the press releases we get from production companies here on Mooney on Theatre.  That way you can find out more about the show.

Just enter the name of the show you want to find out about into the search box on the top of the left column.

2010 Toronto Fringe Festival Buzz

The best way to find out about what is hot and what is not at Fringe Festivals is through word-of-mouth.

That used to just mean talking to people when you were standing in line waiting to go to a show, or while you’re regrouping at the Fringe Club.

But these are the days of technology, so there’s an added way to catch the buzz, twitter.

If you have something to say about the festival use the hashtag #FringeTO so that everyone hears you.  And, if you want to find out what Mooney on Theatre has to say, follow us @moneyontheatre

Our goal is to do a daily round up of the buzz we hear throughout the day and publish it here on Mooney on Theatre.  We encourage you to add your own buzz in the comments section.
