Toronto Theatre on a Budget

Cheap Theatre in Toronto for the Week of April 26, 2010

Five for Twenty (Or Less)

This week, we feature free Toronto theatre – yes, that’s right: all of our cheap Toronto theatre picks for this week cost nothing at all (well, one costs next to nothing, but it’s worth it!).  We also suggest theatre-ish experiences, rather than the usual play.  Comedy, readings and talent shows all qualify as theatre in their own way, and they should not be forsaken.  Toronto has so much to offer by way of all shows that we figured we should highlight some non-traditional free theatre in the hopes that you will attend one or two of our suggestions, and then keep on going back for more.  Enjoy!
