The Toronto Fringe Festival is successfully underway. This is Ontario’s largest performance festival with 77 shows on stages around the city.
As the festival continues its long stretch, I am sharing part two of my curated personal picks for shows… including family / kid-friendly shows as well.
The Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts (TAPA) announced the recipients of the 45th Anniversary Dora Mavor Moore Awards presented by the Romano D’Andrea Foundation. The Awards were presented on Monday, June 30 at an evening ceremony at Meridian Hall hosted by actor Peter Fernandes.
The Dora Awards, Canada’s largest and oldest awards program, celebrates the incredible talent within Toronto’s professional theatre, dance, and opera communities.
Sharing with you the recipients for this year’s awards in the various divisions.
The Toronto Fringe Festival is a platform for innovative theatre and performance. Shows are selected by lottery or first-come-first-served processes, and all ticket revenue goes straight to the artists.
The Toronto Fringe is Ontario’s largest performance festival and will include three dance shows, five KidsFest shows, over a dozen new Canadian musicals, the Next Stage Series, plus dramatic theatre, clown, storytelling, comedy, puppets, and more.
Below, I give you the first half of my curated personal picks for shows I hope you and I get to enjoy at this year’s Fringe. So many shows… how exciting!
