All the World’s a Stage of Grief

From press release: Drawn from almost two hours of original material written by the cast, All the World’s a Stage of Grief is an explosive 60-minute theatrical sketch comedy revue that will leave audiences begging for more. Boisterous, energetic and never taking itself too seriously, it’s the most fun you’ll have at the Toronto Fringe—or, at the very least, the most fun you’ll have at a show with the word “grief” in the title.

Put on by a young and talented cast of comedic performers that have been performing together for more than a year— all of whom graduates of the Second City’s Conservatory Program—and directed by three-time Canadian Comedy Award Winner Aurora Browne, All the World’s a Stage of Grief promises to be a sketch show audiences won’t soon forget.

This piece plays at the Randolph Theatre. Performances: July 08 03:30 PM, July 09 10:30 PM, July 11 01:45 PM, July 12 09:15 PM, July 14 02:15 PM, July 15 05:15 PM

Contest Rules: 
(these will remain the same for each Fringe contest, so take the time to read the list once and you’ll be set)

  • The only acceptable form of entry for the contest is by email, sent to contests@mooneyontheatre.com (Mooney on Theatre will never use your email address for anything other than to reply to the specific contest you entered, and we certainly would never sell it or anything like that)

  • Entrants must be available on the day and time listed in the contest. The tickets are available for that showing only, and cannot be transferred to another date.
  • The winning entrants will be chosen by a random drawing.
  • Winners will be notified by email by 9pm on the day of contest closing and need to confirm their attendance 10am AT THE LATEST the following morning so that their names can be given to the theatre company for tickets to be set aside.
  • Photo I.D. may be required to claim the winning tickets.
  • Tickets must be picked up 60 to 30 minutes before show time at the venue box office. The box office reserves the right to release any tickets not picked up 15 minutes before show time.
