It’s hard to believe, but this was my last day of reviewing the Toronto Fringe for this year! I saw a total of 29 shows over 9 days and what a whirlwind it was (as usual)! Here are my last three reviews, and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend of Fringing ahead! Eleanor…
It was another fabulous day at the Fringe Festival! I had three shows at three venues in the city’s east end, and ran into plenty of friends both old and new. I thoroughly enjoyed all three shows, and I’m hoping you have your tickets for them, because two of the three are already sold out!…

Hummed hymns are the first sounds to grace our ears as the lights come up on a quaint convenience store. Mr. Kim is getting ready to start his day, but he certainly doesn’t know how this day is going to end. Written by Ins Choi and directed by Weyni Mengesha, Kim’s Convenience is not only…
Some things are just too good to be true, like an abandoned house to live in when you can no longer afford your current apartment, or the water and power magically turning on in said house soon after you’ve moved in...a bit suspicious, isn’t it? Oliver desperately tries to push those suspicions away in Will…

Day 9 and with these two plays my Fringe programming for this year was complete!
