Fringe opens in just two short days, and Mooney on Theatre is all a’buzz. We’ll be bringing you comprehensive coverage, including long-format reviews of every show in the festival; we’ll be bringing you buzz, features, photographs and rumours; we’ll be bringing you live Twitter coverage of the most important and exciting events; and, thanks to the ongoing generosity of the Festival and its participants, we invite you to Fringe for Free once more!
Fringe for Free is as easy as it sounds: we’ll post a list of 5 shows for every day in the festival. If you’re interested in catching one, shoot us an email (see below for full details), and one of our Contest Elves will enter you in the drawing. We pick a name, they win two tickets, and then they–hopefully!–come back to Mooney on Theatre and tell us all about it.
Remember, you need a separate email for each entry. If you want to see all 5 shows, that means 5 emails!
Today, we’re posting contests for the very first day of the festival, Wednesday July 2nd. Click the jump to see today’s list!

I’ve always been interested about how women’s sexuality is seen and treated.
So I was pretty intrigued by the piece Slut set to play at this year’s Toronto Fringe Festival. I asked Erin Thompson if she’d take a bit of time to participate in a series we’re calling ‘Talking Fringe’. Check out our conversation below:
