HAPPY FRINGE! The Toronto Fringe Festival opens today with over a hundred theatre productions performing from now until July 13. Here at Mooney on Theatre, we’ll have our full Fringe coverage complete by Friday so be sure to check in regularly for reviews to help secure your Fringe picks. Don’t forget to book your tickets in advance as 100% of the tickets to each show are available for pre-sale this year.

But wait! Here’s your chance to check out some great theatre for free on Day 3 of our Fringe for Free contest!

For every day of the festival, we’ll be giving out tickets to 5 shows. Exciting, right? What’s even more exciting is how easy it is to enter – you can enter each of the five contests by sending us an email (more details below).

Remember, you need to enter each contest individually. If we pick your name, you’ve got two tickets heading your way.

Check out the list of the 5 shows playing on Friday July 4th after the break.

Fringe opens in just two short days, and Mooney on Theatre is all a’buzz. We’ll be bringing you comprehensive coverage, including long-format reviews of every show in the festival; we’ll be bringing you buzz, features, photographs and rumours; we’ll be bringing you live Twitter coverage of the most important and exciting events; and, thanks to the ongoing generosity of the Festival and its participants, we invite you to Fringe for Free once more!

Fringe for Free is as easy as it sounds: we’ll post a list of 5 shows for every day in the festival. If you’re interested in catching one, shoot us an email (see below for full details), and one of our Contest Elves will enter you in the drawing. We pick a name, they win two tickets, and then they–hopefully!–come back to Mooney on Theatre and tell us all about it.

Remember, you need a separate email for each entry. If you want to see all 5 shows, that means 5 emails!

Today, we’re posting contests for the very first day of the festival, Wednesday July 2nd. Click the jump to see today’s list!
