The interactive piece transforms the audience into “Dinosaur Experts.” Philip and Lucinda are dinosaur explorers that debunk the Paleozoic Era with song, dance, and acrobatics.
The premise of the show follows Benny the Bullet and the Mouse Hockey Leaguers who yearn to get the Cheddar Cup back from the Rink Rats. It is based on a beloved, best-selling children’s novel by Estelle Salata that also became an animated film.
Death Ray Cabaret, presented by the eponymous company at the 2019 Toronto Fringe Festival, is a sketch comedy show created by Second City veterans Jordan Armstrong and Kevin Matviw that stages a nightly takeover of the Monarch Tavern. Though it isn’t really about death rays (or on any particular theme), it’s a very polished set of musical comedy sketches by an assured duo who know how to shoot, laser-like, right for the target.
I didn’t really know what to expect from Kerploding Theatre’sGremlin Hour playing at the Toronto Fringe FestivalKidsFest. The description was pretty vague. I knew it was Gremlins seeking help at a meeting of Gremlins – that’s us, the audience – and there would be no spooking.
Ok…it’s only the first day of Fringe and I think I’ve already found my favorite show. What is happening!? Is it a full moon? Am I on my period? Am I being blinded by love chemicals? No…Emotional Labour is just that good.
