Friendship. Desire. Jealousy. Forbidden Love. Loss. Finding one’s place in the World. Considered to be Virginia Woolf’s most personal novel, The Waves is adapted for the stage by Toronto actor/director Brenley Charkow, and will make its world-premiere at the 2010 Toronto Fringe Festival.
“I wanted to create a production that would invoke the imagination and provoke the mind.

From the people who watched “Waiting for Guffman” and “The Office” – and thought they were both pretty funny – comes a comedy that’ll make you wish you never found out what goes on behind the scenes of an independent film. The Making Of is a mockumentary that follows an inept film crew making a misguided documentary about the “untold plight of Toronto’s poor” and who completely miss the point.

Georgia & Leona
Written by Misha Bower and Directed by Lara Mrkoci
Georgia & Leona, the new play from In the Room Productions, is about two women who are strangers with a lot in common – especially tonight, as both return home from a bizarre and unexpected reunion with the past.
Georgia comes home after catching up with her friend Donna, a well-known wild card who surprises Georgia with news of her recent marriage. Leona comes home from a night with Barry, who arrives with a mysterious bundle of letters written by their lifelong friend, Carl “The Leveller” Levalier, who died two years ago to the day.

TORONTO, Ontario (May 10th, 2010) – The 2010 Toronto Fringe Festival will feature Fishstick Productions’ presentation of Charles Crosby’s daring exposé of the world’s oldest profession.
TORONTO, ON – Baseball. Of all the lessons the game imparts on the field– teamwork, perseverance, patience – there is a strong lesson to be learned in the stands as well. That lesson, of course, is proper parenting. Devon Hyland (Second City Theatricals, A Night at the Improv) and Connor Thompson (Lusty Mannequins, Theatresports) have refined through hours of improv a funny ha-ha All-Star game where the action is in the crowd, on the field, and in the booth. Dale Beaner and the Turtle Boy: an hour-long two-man eight-character play – part of the 2010 Toronto Fringe Festival.
