Beat the heat – see a Fringe show in air-conditioned comfort!
There are lots of ways to choose which Fringe shows to see. This week why not go to shows in air-conditioned venues?
You can download the Fringe program, look for the venue and see what’s playing. I went to 2 shows at the George Ignatieff Theatre today. Stayed cool.

Hi Sam,
Thanks for your review(s) of “The Flying Avro Arrow”.
I just wanted to point out that our venue is also air-conditioned: the United Steelworkers hall at 25 Cecil (near College and St George).
Hi Steve
sorry that I missed it in the list
Sam
Sam – Downloadable program link doesn’t work. Is the program available anywhere online?
And… Is there an app to help navigate?
Hi Mara,
The link doesn’t work because this post is about last year’s Festival.
You can download this year’s program book on the Toronto Fringe site here: http://www.fringetoronto.com/fringefest/entire_program.html
A bit confusing that part on this site! Thanks, Wayne. I kept looking around the site and couldn’t find it.
Is there a hidden iPhone app somewhere, too?
Hi Mara,
Sorry it’s been confusing. As with most online publications, we don’t pull old articles, they remain live. That’s why all the titles have the year in them. But it’s easy to miss titles, I do it all the time with subject lines in emails.
I don’t think anyone has made an iphone app for Fringe this year. The main sponsor of the festival is NOW magazine. I believe they have optimized their Fringe coverage page for viewing on mobile devices.
Hopefully that helps.
Cheers,
megan
