Guess what? We have an index of Fringe Press Releases!

For me, the small paragraph description of a show available in the Toronto Fringe Festival program is more of a teaser than a description. A really great resource to pique my interest, but not quite enough information to help me decide amongst the 155 shows on offer at this year’s festival.

While 155 shows are far too many to do actual previews on, we are able to publish the press releases we receive. I highly recommend checking them out for more information on what’s available out there.  The listing of all the releases we’ve published (we publish more each day) can be found here.
