Friends at the Fringe

"Inspired by the worldwide fringe movement, Toronto Fringe was founded by a cluster of local indie artists in 1989 to offer the “fringes” of the performing arts community a platform to create art at a grassroots level. It’s theatre by the people, for the people." - from fringetoronto.com

Each summer, Hart House Theatre is proud to see just how many of our recent alumni are creating their own work and living their love of theatre through the Toronto Fringe Festival. This summer is certainly no exception. Be sure to add the following shows to your "must see" list:

ENTRANCES AND EXITS directed by Paolo Santalucia ( Hamlet , The Tempest , Romeo and Juliet)
