From Toronto actor/singer/award-winning content creator Will Parry, comes The Everlasting Friendship of Billy & Bink: a new TYA musical about what it means to be a friend in the digital age. The Everlasting Friendship of Billy & Bink, appearing as a part of the 2026 Toronto Fringe Festival’s KidsFest at Young People’s Theatre from July 2 to July 12. Visit the Show Page to learn more.
PUPPETS AND HUMANS ALIKE, meet Billy & Bink! A puppet and human brother duo who are also BEST FRIENDS! It’s a perfect day until Bink finds out Billy is hiding a secret. Uh-oh! Things just got confusing! Friendship is HARD! With the help of songs, laughs, and YOU, they’ll sort their problem out! Enjoy this brand-new TYA musical for the whole family at KidsFest. Suitable for ages 5–10 (and everybody else!)
Said Dora-Nominated and Puppet Designer/Consultant, Adam Francis Proulx, “I saw my first Toronto Fringe at least a decade and a half ago. As much as times have changed, Fringe audiences have always embraced inventive, joyful theatre, and Billy & Bink feels like the perfect fit for that spirit. This show combines sharp comedy, heart, and some wonderful puppetry in a way that reminds us why live performance can feel so immediate and magical. At a time when audiences are craving connection, playfulness, and genuine surprise, this piece delivers all three with charm to spare. It’s clever, weird, heartfelt, and, most importantly, an absolute blast.”
The Everlasting Friendship of Billy & Bink is written (book & lyrics) and performed by Will Parry (Into the Woods, Koerner Hall). The creative team includes Andrew Lamb – Director/Dramaturg (3-Time Dora Award Nominee, Artistic Director of Roseneath Theatre), Chris Tsujiuchi – Composer/Music Director (Dora-Nominated for A Strange Loop, Soulpepper), Adam Francis Proulx – Puppet Designer/Consultant (Dora-Nominated for Emilio’s A Million Chameleons, Toronto Fringe/Soho Playhouse – Off-Broadway).
