HIGH PARK NOIR Comes to the Toronto Fringe

Toronto, meet your hero: A raccoon with a drinking problem.

Condo development in High Park will leave its furry inhabitants homeless. If he can get sober, raccoon Detective Dick will expose corruption and save High Park. Will Dick's dark past and Officer Pussy's tail get in his way? A trust-fund puppy and burlesque bat complicate matters in this waggish tale for adults only!

Simply Twisted Productions was created by three old friends who graduated from Dawson College's DOME Theatre Program in Montreal. This will be their first time working all together since they graduated from theatre school 15 years ago! Simply Twisted Productions is a diverse company with female, gay and indigenous representation.

HIGH PARK NOIR features the following actors from previous Fringe hits: Cory Bertrand from It's Just A Phase (2009-Toronto), Binary (2008-Toronto), Rejection Rate (2006-Toronto), Forking Mona Lisa (2004-Montreal) and Everything You Wanted to Know About Yourself But Were Afraid to Ask Freud (2001- Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Saskatoon, Edmonton).
