Sometimes shows run for what seems like ages – in fact, the Lion King musical has officially made more money than any piece of entertainment in history. Some other shows only play for one night. And this week’s Cheap Theatre honours those – here’s a list of shows playing in Toronto this week that are on for one night only! And they’re all $25 or less per ticket! So go take advantage of your opportunity to see these shows, before it’s too late!
September is well under way, and work is probably getting a little crazy for all of us. Thinking of rebelling against the system and living off-grid in the forest somewhere? The protagonists of the shows in this week’s Cheap Theatre don’t exactly do that, but they do butt heads with the powers-that-be in their societies, with varying results. And hey – you’re sticking it to the man (a little bit) by paying so little for so much theatre!

TIFF is over, and the weather is getting chilly… But the theatre scene in Toronto is heating up for the coming start of the fall!

What would theatre be without a little tension? This week’s Cheap Theatre is all about different kinds of tension – between family members, between individuals and society, and between the natural and the supernatural.
