FOR SALE OR TRADE: HEART, BROKEN
(MANUAL NOT INCLUDED)
HEART-STRINGS
a new physical comedy
by Tanya Elchuk & Amy Crnkovic
at The Toronto Fringe Festival
A rollicking, irreverent adventure through love, hope, despair, and discovery, HEART-STRINGS is a surrealist romantic comedy about a girl and her heart. A dynamic fusion of theatre, movement, and music in a high-energy, 2-woman show!

The 2010 Toronto Fringe Festival is coming up (at an alarmingly quick rate I might add) and you are probably wondering what we’ll be doing here at Mooney on Theatre.
The festival runs June 30 – July 11, 2010, and as with last year, you can expect contests and reviews galore (in fact, we have the ambitious goal of reviewing all 150 shows this year, cross your fingers for us) on Mooney on Theatre during that time.

You know how sometimes you see an opening act at a concert, and you think “Wow, these guys are really good. Who even needs the main act?” And then actually you see the main act, and you’re like “Never mind. Yeah, this is what I paid for.” Head First is like that. The three pieces are all just fine separately, but the third piece so eclipses the ones before it that you feel a little bad for the other two. Fortunately, they’re all from the same company, so I don’t feel that bad for them.
Being compared to Steven Colbert has to feel pretty good. EYE says: “If the CBC’s comedy line-up had an equivalent to The Colbert Report, the show would somehow have to involve Ruby Jones, a.k.a. Harper Girl, a.k.a. Rusa Jeremic. Like Colbert, Jeremic veils her political savvy under an exaggerated right-wing caricature, smartly poking holes in the Conservative establishment, from John Turner to Conrad Black.”
Wanna see Harper Girl for free? Well then, enter the contest to win free tickets to her 8pm show tonight at Theatre Passe Muraille (16 Ryerson Ave)!
To be entered to win a pair of free tickets to Saturday’s show all you need to do is leave a comment* sometime before 6:30pm Saturday.

This was a late addition to this year’s Toronto Fringe Festival, which means it’s not in the program, and therefore is in danger of being overlooked.
So, I’m thinkin’ we need to show this Cape Breton guy that Toronto can offer some ol’ support and hospitality. So, check out his show playing at the Royal St George Auditorium, (120 Howland Avenue) on Saturday at 1:45pm.
Need more motivation? Okay, well, how do free tickets grab you?
