From the brimming depths of our very full hearts: Thank you.

To everyone who bought a ticket, shared a post, recommended us to a friend, spared a kind word in person or online, volunteered at the Fringe, took time to write a review, acted in a show, and to the dear members of Alumnae Theatre and the The Toronto Fringe - THANK YOU.

That's a wrap on the 2023 Toronto Fringe Festival but be sure to check out the hobby horse website and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to stay updated on upcoming projects and announcements.

For those of you who couldn't make it out this time - we will leave you with (almost) the infamous words of Eve Arden: if you can't be an artist, be an artistic supporter

The universe finds a way. Sometimes you're in an elevator, someone compliments your snoopy shirt, conversation ensues, they come to see your Fringe show, and through the show, reclaim a little piece of themselves.
For anyone missing a friend, grieving a loss, looking for hope, or wanting a connection - all that remains is the right show for you.

There are 2 more chances to catch this heartfelt show - tomorrow (Friday) at 2:30 and Saturday at 6:00.
