After seeing 50 (yes, FIFTY!) shows over a week long 'Fringe Binge' our team was on hand Friday July 12th to announce the two shows we will be bringing to our North(519) Best of Toronto Fringe event at Summer Arts Fest. Both shows, Stiff & Sons and bol, brown boy, bol will be joining us on Friday August 16th at Mount Alverno!

Tickets are $20/ea OR you can take advantage of our two-show ticket price and see BOTH shows for $30 (Call our Box Office to reserve special two-show discount). Come early and hear local favourite, Falcon Jane, as they fill the patio space with music while our artists get ready to bring their shows to life on stage at our Summer Arts Fest.

Friday August 16th, 2024 - North(519) Best of Fringe - RETURNS!

Our Friday night opening event at Summer Arts Fest will feature not one, but TWO shows from The Toronto Fringe Festival. Held inside the intimate barn at Mount Alverno, you’re welcomed with LIVE patio music, drinks and ambiance, before taking in your first show of the evening. We encourage you to take advantage of our two-show ticket deal and see BOTH Fringe shows for one low price.

In between the shows, we’ll once again greet you on the romantically lit patio for music and refreshments.

JUST ANNOUNCED - The two shows joining us from the Toronto Fringe Festival are; Stiff & Sons and bol, brown boy, bol (speak, brown boy, speak)!

 • 7:00pm - Stiff & Sons

Meet the Stiffs. Your average family running a funeral home teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. In a bid to keep their business afloat, they start orchestrating “accidental departures” for unsuspecting individuals. As their scheme brings unexpected success, the fate of the Stiff family hangs precariously in the balance as greed, love triangles, dreams of Hollywood and possessed puppets weave together in this darkly comedic tale.

After a successful run at the 2023 Simcoe County Theatre Festival, Stiff & Sons made its Toronto debut at the 2024 Toronto Fringe Festival with a Dora Award Winning cast and director, and is now joining us!

 • 8:30pm - bol, brown boy, bol (speak, brown boy, speak)

In this cheeky, heartfelt solo show, a lost millennial GTA brown boy speaks up about the impact of Canadian racism on his identity by weaving storytelling with the rhythms of tabla - a Northern Indian percussion instrument.

Come for the unique blend of storytelling and classical tabla performance. Stay for the musical throwbacks, the playful humour, and a post-show community dialogue with us. Leave feeling seen.

This is a debut theatre production from Creator/Director Nawaaz Makhani, Director/Producer Tiffany Wu.
