I’m having such a fun time at the Fringe Festival once again this year! I had the whole evening at Daniels Spectrum, seeing three shows in the two Native Earth venues. I ran into some friends from uni, had a lovely time with my fiancé for his last day of shows, and even got to…
We’re headed into the home stretch of the Toronto Fringe Festival! I had two shows to kick off this week, both at the main Fringe hub at Soulpepper Theatre. I love getting to bump into folks and talking to the volunteers while we wait in line; so much of Fringe is the wonderful social aspect…
The first weekend of Fringe is in the books! And with cooler weather to make being outside more bearable, it was certainly a great weekend to check out some shows! My fiance and I saw another three shows, including two of the musicals featured in the Alliance for Canadian Musicals line-up at Theatre Passe Muraille.…
Phew! Thankfully the rain finally broke the nasty heat wave we’ve been experiencing! And in time for the first weekend of Fringe! This weekend also marks the halfway point in the festival for those of us who are reviewing, so now it’s time for the final sprint! I’m always excited for the weekends during the…
Goodness I hope this heat wave breaks soon! It was another hot one this fourth day of the Fringe, but it was also a very fun one too! Hot tip (pun intended), Tarragon Theatre’s A/C is cranked; it feels amazing in there! Plus, they have a cute little cafe/lounge space set up for you to…

Oof, it was certainly a hot one for Canada Day this year! And though the Fringe offerings were a little less because of the holiday, I was still able to get out and see a show while also enjoying a nice mid-week unwind with my fiance! Photo by Barry McCluskey featuring Elise Bauman (L) and…
Seeing take rimbaud at Buddies in Bad Times this season opened my mind to the wild and wondrous world of Susanna Fournier’s writing. Her latest work, Ghosts of My House, is coming to Here For Now Theatre in Stratford this summer, promising more unique and intriguing takes on Greek mythology. I got to ask Susanna…
A very Merry Fringe-mas to you all! I’m so excited to be reviewing the Toronto Fringe Festival once again this year, and sharing all of my thoughts with you! I started off my Fringe with an easy two-show day, but they were both shows which, to me, epitomize the Fringe experience. My Own Private Shakespeare…
