Now that our final Fringe Curtain has come down for us at HANDS DOWN, Team Pogoda would just like to thank EVERYONE who supported us, came out, tweeted, posted, encouraged and cheered us on our journey. Over 1200 people came to see our little car comedy, and we're eternally grateful for that. We'd also like to thank The Toronto Fringe Festival staff and volunteers, Factory Theatre team and all the media, press, fans, Fringe supporters and all the other Fringe Artists and Creators that we met and were inspired by. Also, thank you to our Patron's Pick closing night audience for the Standing "O" - that was the icing on our Fringe Cake! Much Love from all of us at HANDS DOWN CAST & CREW. This just might be the start of a beautiful theatrical relationship ;-)...
