We all have the occasional struggle in life, whether or not it’s actually something serious. The shows in this week’s Cheap Theatre listings all feature characters facing their own personal struggles, ranging from a trio of brothers seeking to regain their fortune, to a crazed fan coming to terms with a famous couple’s split, to queer performers questioning the nature of burlesque performance art. But hopefully you won’t struggle with the choice to go out and see some Cheap Theatre – tickets to each show are available for $20 or less! Check them out below.

Cheap Theatre for the Week of June 10th
One of the most exciting things about theatre is its power to inspire more than one interpretation of the same story. The shows in this week’s Cheap Theatre list all investigate the idea of reinterpretation. Some play with the traditional genders of characters (and performers) in Shakespearean plays. Others tell the tales of characters reconsidering their lives by taking a walk in another’s shoes. But all of them cost less than $20 a ticket! Nothing deep to interpret there – just Cheap Theatre!

Cheap Theatre for the Week of June 3rd
I love cloudy days in Toronto. Sure, the city’s great when its sunny and you can enjoy being outside. But there’s something to be said for a quiet (or rowdy) day indoors, where you can take a moment and catch up with your thoughts – or catch a good show. This week’s Cheap Theatre features a number of productions that are sure to get you thinking, all for $20 or less. So you can get lost in thought without losing your money.
