Toronto Fringe!
This is my first year experiencing the Toronto Fringe Festival! What an amazing time to be in Toronto. There's around 150 shows this year; I know I'll only be able to skim the surface. The following is by no means a review, just some short thoughts! I began by going to see "Crux" a new show written by a fellow Sheridan alumni, Greg Borris and choreographed by my good friend Eric Dahlinger. This was a very innovative piece of immersive theatre that took place in a rock climbing gym! They took their scenes to new heights, literally! A very interesting piece that is worth seeing. On Saturday I took a non-performer friend to see "The Fence" written by the team who wrote last year's "Summerland": Johnson, Johnston and Wilde. I LOVED this show! It was an amazing performance of song and dance that had the entire theatre on their feet by the end. So many beautiful moments were created with a clearly phenomenal group of artists. I was laughing, crying and beaming! Highly recommend. My friend also loved it! Not being a performer herself she was nervous that the material would be inaccessible to her, but I can assure you she was crying throughout and thoroughly enjoyed her first Fringe experience. This week I plan to see "Life After" and "Into"! So excited for both of these pieces. I'll see what else I can snag tickets to. This city is full of so much creativity, love and stories waiting to be heard/seen. Happy Fringing!

A lot of has happened since closing night of Sunday in the Park with George. I had the immense pleasure of watching the rest of my classmates perform in Grand Hotel which was a stellar production. Finally I finished off my last year at Sheridan with an awards night performance of "Nothing Without You" from Theory of Relativity with the Class of 2016. On June 7th I officially graduated from Sheridan's Music Theatre program as part of the Class of 2016! Now it's time to leap into the professional world of theatre and beyond. This month I also officially moved into Toronto to begin a new adventure. It's been amazing to take in the shows and classes available here! My first summer in Toronto. I've already seen some amazing Mirvish shows and I can't wait to check out the Fringe Festival! Some exciting news is that the CMTP workshop cast of Matthew Lee Robinson's Atlantis recorded a demo CD and it is now being distributed. Hoping to share a few songs on here.
