The 2019 Toronto Fringe Festival wrapped up yesterday after 12 successful days of live theatre, dance, comedy, musicals and increased free programming at Fringe's patio, POSTSCRIPT. Toronto Fringe is pleased to report that ticket sales for the 2019 Fringe Festival were $40,000 ahead of the incredibly successful 2018 Fringe Festival - making it the best-selling Toronto Fringe of all time. In a time of austerity and cutbacks, Fringe is proud to announce that the indie, grassroots theatre spirit is alive and well - and people are flocking to this 31-year-old movement, which has become a feeder-system of the performing arts ecology in Canada.
The winners of Toronto Fringe Patron's Pick shows, Best of Fringe shows and more were announced yesterday evening at an Awards Ceremony at POSTSCRIPT, the patio at the Toronto Fringe.
