This year marks the 21st anniversary of the Fringe Festival in Toronto, a *must see* for theatre fans. Explore the history of some of the sites where Fringe plays have been presented, most of which were built for a purpose other than theatre.
START POINT: Across from Palmerston Library 560 Palmsrston Ave. (2 blocks west of Bloor and Bathurst.)
Here are the sites, I'll be covering.
- Palmerston Library Theatre
- Honest Ed's
- Victory Cafe
- Bathurst Theatre
- Annex Theatre
- Central Tech
- Pauper's Restaurant
- Bloor Cinema
- Sonic Boom
- Lee's Palace
- Intrepid Travel
- Ye Olde Brunswick House
- the former Poor Alex Theatre
- the TRANSAC club
- James Joyce Pub
- Miles Nadal JCC
It will be a mix of building histories, Fringe history and concepts of the Fringe.
I hope you'll be able to join me.
