The second round of reviews from the Toronto Fringe's New Young Reviewers program is here!
REVIEW: The Last Timbit is a surprisingly charming commercial gem
The Last Timbit, a show of snow and sweets, had a limited run at the Elgin Theatre in June and is getting a streaming release on Crave on August 12. I, for one, am more than curious to see how a wider audience will react.
When Blind Casting Isn’t Enough
