Fringe for Free – The Sicilian Wednesday 7:30pm

contest-web-graphic Another show that got 5 stars from EYE!  Nice!  Not a lot of comments on the review of The Sicilian, but the only one that’s there is positive.  And the show has received 9 recommendations on the ‘recommendometer’ (as I have spontaneously decided to dub the little thumbs up in the corner of the EYE reviews).

As you have no doubt guessed by now, we have a pair of free tickets to The Sicilian at Factory Theatre (Venue 5 – 125 Bathurst Street) on Wednesday July 8 at 7:30pm.  Head on over and have some fun!

To enter the draw, all you need to do is leave a comment* sometime before 5:30pm Wednesday.

Fringe Review: The Fecal Monologues – Don't Jump Smile

By Crystal Wood
