The 10/10/10 Project, presented by Bismuth Theatre at Factory Theatre Mainspace as part of the Toronto Fringe Festival, is based on a unique concept. It can be easy to feel lost when watching such a conceptual show, but once I accepted that and went along for the ride, I experienced a fascinating exploration of writing, music, and dance.
Hey! Good Lookin’, playing at the Toronto Fringe, brings two sisters from different walks of life together after their mother suffers a stroke. Their mother has been living with dementia for years and the reality of mortality hits them full force in this eye-opening and poignant production.
Dance is an illusion. It changes gravity and turns air into water. Bodies float and twist in the wind.

In the Toronto Fringe show Adventures of a Supervet Tech, Sandra Lean-Leighton shares tales from over two decades as a Veterinary Technician. This is a zany, energetic show that packs a few unexpectedly emotional punches. This marriage of Lean-Leighton’s rich background in theatre with the colourful experiences she’s had as a vet tech aims to shed some light on a valuable but underappreciated profession. As she puts it, she takes audiences ‘beyond the furry veil.’
