CIRCUS SHOP OF HORRORS Comes to Toronto Fringe 2018
CIRCUS SHOP OF HORRORS follows one ill-fated woman's dangerous journey, navigating her way through classic moments of beloved iconic horror films retold in the present day. Fusing together an amazing variety of circus artistry with the grotesque, comedy, drag and gore, this innovative show promises to be a spectacular visual mash-up at the Toronto Fringe Festival!
The ensemble is primarily LGBTQ+, featuring creative content such as dance, aerials, illusions, and combat sequences. The production team is entirely made up of phenomenal women (still to this day a rarity in Canadian theatre). Director/Producer Justine Cargo ((My) Immortal The Series, Tough Jews; 6 time Dora Nominee, Romeo and Juliet Chainsaw Massacre; 2016 Best of Fringe), Lighting Designer Sarah Mansikka (Stratford Festival, Vancouver Opera), and Co-Producers Kelly Taylor & Melanie Pyne combine their unique specialties to bring Fringe audiences this exciting, ambitious revue! Circus Shop of Horrors is presented by Second Star Productions and sponsored by The Social Capital Theatre (NOW Magazine Best Comedy Venue 2017 Nominee).
CAST: Melissa Yang (American Gods; 2015 Pan American Games), Kiriana Stanton (Neverknock, SyFy 2017), Pure (self-produced 2018), Emma Donelly (The National Ballet), Zel Tyrant (Lunacy Cabaret), Ryan Brown (3-time winner of Toronto's Best Magician of the Year Award), Daniel Bowen (AKA Burlesque Brad Puddin; High Society Cabaret Productions, La Dolce Vita)
