Our second and final batch of Fringe 2017 reviews is here, and it's ready for you to read on! A little bit serious, a little bit funny—Fringe has always been a well-rounded theatrical experience, and we cherish it for that.
Read MoreHello and goodbye, Fringe Fest 2017. Oh, how we wish we could have experience you twice over! But alas, time moves so quickly and festivals must eventually end. At least we have a few reviews as re-cap! First up, a duo of one man shows (paradoxical, I know). Enjoy!
Read MoreSeptember has been moving steadily along! We think this month calls for fresh inspiration and renewal. Who better than featured artist Sandeep Johal to guide us? Take a listen to the latest mixed playlist, galvanized by her work!
