“Come be a part of the 25th Anniversary of Toronto’s largest theatre festival!”
From press release:
To celebrate 25 years of unforgettable theatre, the Toronto Fringe Festival is throwing its biggest festival ever, and show tickets are on sale now! Only 50% of tickets are available in advance – so book early to avoid disappointment!
Join us July 3rd at 4:30pm in our expanded Fringe Club at 581 Bloor Street West for the opening ceremonies and poster sprint followed by a free concert from Polaris-nominated Hooded Fang! Throughout the festival, the Fringe Club will be packed with programming: the Visual Fringe art market, the always innovative AlleyPlays, the energetic discussions of the Tent Talks industry series, and performances from buskers and bands. Stick around at night for our new Fringe After Dark series, with ghost stories, Truth or Dare, Adult Craft Night, and more!
Whether you’re a Fringe junkie or just a casual consumer, you’re probably gearing up for the 25th Annual Toronto Fringe Festival. There is a certain joy involved in perusing the guide or even just the online listings, but the challenge, of course, is that those descriptions are not only short, but often submitted before the piece is even written.
If you really want to know what a show is about, we highly suggest checking out a show’s press release. As always, Mooney on Theatre is publishing every Toronto Fringe press release sent to us, and gathering them together in a handy alphabetical listing.

And if not, could we possible be taking certain things for granted? Continue reading Twisted Beats & Circus Feats – Toronto Fringe 2013 Press Release→
Vivisection: (from Latin vivus, “alive” and sectio, “cutting”). Grave-robbing! Cat dissections! Petticoats! Based on a bizarrely true story, this gruesome dramedy follows the Queen’s University medical class of 1884 as they adjust to the first lady students, new scientific ideas, and the marvelously mad world of Victorian medicine.
FLY ON THE WALL THEATRE in association with the Toronto Fringe Festival presents:
The Toronto Premiere of Cold Comfort
by award-winning Irish playwright Owen McCafferty
Toronto, ON – Conversations with our parents. There are those we have around the kitchen table. There are those we have in the car. And there are those we have late at night. But there are those that we never have. Because of fear. Because of what those conversations might reveal about our parents…or ourselves.
