Accessibility, variety and quality are the foundation of the fringe festival. The Toronto Fringe started in 1989 with 4 venues and 40 productions; it now offers 24 venues, 100-plus international theatre companies, and a massive variety of performances. Current venues include neighborhood pubs, outdoor sites and more formal traditional theatre spaces. The festival has something for everyone – children's shows, avant-garde productions, and classics with a twist. For updates, fringe gossip and festival news, check out the Fringe Harold, the dedicated daily Toronto Fringe newsletter. All seating is general admission, and tickets at the door are cash only.
