This curated fall festival from the folks at Toronto Fringe returns for its 17th iteration with six full productions: Keir Cutler’s solo show Civilized, which satirizes a 19th-century civil servant in favour of residential schools; Louise Casemore’s two-hander Gemini, a dive into the dynamic between a bartender and one of her regular customers; Lyndsey Bourne and Sam Kaseta’s Vancouver-set musical I Was Unbecoming Then, which explores the peaks and valleys of high school choir practice; Frankétienne’s 1978 play The Noose, about two Haitian immigrants in a New York basement apartment; Lou Campbell’s solo show Prude, an enigmatic blend of standup and drag; and Bonnie Duff’s drama This Feels Like the End, which asks what would happen if the sun suddenly stopped rising.
