Summerland 2015 Musical: Opening again!

Well, this is an oldie, but a goodie!

For a few years now I have been checking out the Toronto Fringe.

Pretty cool way to see all these tiny theatres around the city and support the arts and talent in the area.

Some shows are a hit and there are some that are a miss as well. From established acting groups to amateurs, musicals to comedy to drama to simply strange.

It is fun and a cheap way to get some thrills around the city haha. I do recommend!



One show in particular "Summerland" I still keep talking about. I was totally blown away by it. The grandness of the production and how it kept my interest throughout. From the instant you got onto the grounds (which was a downtown highschool) you were experiencing the play - with actors as students all over the lawn in their cliques while you lined up to get your ticket, to the students doing selfies by their lockers on your way to the auditorium.



It was pretty cool and a few weeks later I saw an Ed Mirvish play "Once" which literally put me to sleep and actually put the lady beside me to sleep, so depressing and monotonous in comparison to this Fringe for only 12$. That tells you something!



Anyhow, Fringe is over for this year in T.O and I did see an entertaining array of skits "True North Mixtape" by the same company, though it was not as grand and did not have a particular storyline. They did play a song by "Summerland" which I was trying to find - but instead found this clip.

There is also Fringe Ottawa and Hamilton... I should reco this more...
