Toronto Theatre – What’s On

Mooney on Theatre Recommends – 2013 Toronto Fringe Festival

Fringe-Club-Twinkly-Lights_sm1

This past weekend Mooney on Theatre sent its dedicated team of 18 writers and 5 editors to cover all 141 shows* in this year’s Toronto Fringe Festival! With the sheer number of shows available at the festival, picking the ones you want to see can be a daunting task.

Of course, one of the best ways to enjoy the Fringe is to not overly plan it out and just go and take a chance on something that happens to be playing at a given time; it’s only ten bucks and about an hour of your time and you may discover something you think is amazing.

If you’re still feeling a bit overwhelmed by the number of shows at the Fringe and are looking for a place to start, we’ve asked our staff to tell us about their favourite shows they’ve seen at this year’s festival. We hope our staff picks can help you navigate the Fringe.

If you’ve seen something you think is amazing that you think others should go see please let us know by leaving a comment.

Happy Fringing!
