Toronto Fringe’s New Young Reviewers 2024 | Round Two
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

Prodigal will definitely make you laugh, possibly make you cry, and, hopefully, make you think a little bit as well.
