How’s your Fringe been so far, Toronto? I won’t lie, I’ve had a mixed bag myself: some great pieces of theatre, a couple of clunkers. But that’s the thing with Fringe! Tickets are only $10, shows only run an hour, and even if what you’ve just seen something dreadful, there’s always a better show just around the corner!
But with Fringe for Free, we do even better: we’ve got free tickets for you. All you’ve gotta do is send us an email and we’ll draw a winner for each of five shows. So click “Read More”, and let me introduce you to the 5 shows we’re raffling off on Monday, July 6th!
