Good evening, people of Fringe! This is a special late-night edition of Fringe for Free, or — as we call it internally — the “someone forgot he had contests to post and wound up in a 14-hour rehearsal, didn’t he” edition. To commemorate this special occasion, we’ll be holding these contests open an extra few hours, so they close at 11:00 PM instead of the usual 7:00.
But beyond that, it’s the same as always: five hot shows, free tickets to each, and all you need to do to win is send us an email. Enter one, enter all five, tell your friends, and see some theatre!
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 11 PM on the day before the performance. (NB: This contest will end significantly later than the usual contests. The standard closing hour is 7 PM.) 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.
- Tickets will be held in your name at the venue box office, available 1 hour before the performance. Tickets will only be held until 15 minutes before curtain: any comps left unclaimed at that juncture may be sold.

Like A Generation
12:15 PM on Wednesday, July 6th @ the Tarragon Theatre Extraspace (30 Bridgman Ave.)
After 20 years of children’s TV, Mr. Flowers’ show is being cancelled. He now has one hour, with the help of two lifelong fans, to prove that his message still matters. But things go awry when childhood ideals and bitter reality collide. A lively, carnivalesque take on coming of age in the 21st century.
