Fringing ON

Filed under: Culture — Diana Condolo @ 6:52 pm

Did you know that the Fringe Festival is running? The Fringe is an affordable and accessible avenue for independent artists to showcase their work. There are about 140 different shows running in 29 venues and the playlist includes something for every taste. Most of the shows run about one hour or so making it easy to see many shows in one evening. There are a lot of great shows to be seen, and what is especially nice is that all the seats are good…no matter where you sit, you will always be able to see the actor’s face and their expressions. Exploring the different venues is part of the charm of the Fringe and I’ll be going to see some plays this year in places I have never been before and some places I never expected to see a play eg., Honest Ed’s Loading Dock.

I am still surprised that many Torontonians have not been or even heard of the Fringe. They have been putting on shows in the city for 20 years now and I look forward to joining them every year.
