Contests Day 3! Already! I know, right!?!
More importantly, FIRST DAY OF FRINGE!!!
Now, is there any better way to celebrate Canada Day than checking out some theatre for free? No, I didn’t think so.
So, start emailing and entering some contests. We have 5 more shows up for grabs today, all of them for Friday July 1.
Also, starting tomorrow morning – or, if you’re really eager, the wee hours tonight (or is that the wee hours of tomorrow morning?) you will be able to read the first of our reviews.
Now, onto the contests…
Contest Rules
To enter, send an email to contests@mooneyontheatre.com. Please put the show’s title in the subject line, and ensure we have your full name in the body. (We promise that your email address will not be used for any other purpose: it will not be added to any mailing lists, sold to third parties, or anything like that.)
- Each email counts as a single entry. If you want to enter all 5 contests, you must send 5 emails.
- Tickets are non-transferable and are only for the date and time indicated below. Tickets may not be exchanged. Please ensure you can attend the performance listed.
- All entries must be received by 7 PM on the day before the performance. The drawing will be held shortly after closing, and winners will be informed immediately. Winners are required to confirm their attendance by 10 AM on the morning of the performance.
