Toronto Fringe Hype Up: 2024 Dora Award nominees Sex T-Rex Present Crime After Crime (After Crime) at the Toronto Fringe Festival

by

Fresh from their 2024 Dora Mavor Moore Award nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble for SwordPlay, genre-comedy specialists Sex T-Rex return to the Toronto Fringe Festival with Crime After Crime (After Crime).

In this updated version of the multi-award-winning hit, Toronto’s beloved physical comedy company presents a multi-generational epic spanning three “Crime Periods” – film noir set in the 50s, a heist in the 70s, and a buddy cop in the 90s. In Sex T-Rex’s signature style of cinematic-inspired comedy, Crime After Crime (After Crime) shows the dark side of the Stone Family’s rise and fall in Crime City, USA, and explores the family’s intergenerational trauma through stupid goofs, stage combat, and swing-dance car chases.

Created and performed by Sex T-Rex: 
Conor Bradbury (Second City mainstage), Julian Frid, Lowen Morrow and Seann Murray

Toronto Fringe Hype Up: Girls’ Night Cabin Fever

by

Things get spooky in Girls’ Night Cabin Fever, a fast-paced, horror farce, playing at the Tarragon Extra Space. As three women try to rekindle their childhood friendship, Charlie, Ember and Liz make a frenzied attempt to survive all the classic perils of a cabin in the woods. As the suspense grows and the power goes out, it begs the question, would you try to confront the threat? Or as Ember asks, “Do you wanna get turnt together one more time before we die and finish off this margarita mix”.

Girls’ Night Cabin Fever originally premiered at the 2022 Guelph Fringe Festival, and is returning to the stage with a new and improved script and staging. The show is based on playwright Cassie Davidson’s experience growing up in rural Ontario, and is supported by sound designer Ryan Maxwell’s imaginative horror soundscape.

Featuring a cast of 6 exciting, emerging artists including Lizzie Moffatt, Mackenzie Kelly, Kenny Grenier, Allison Ehrlich and Cassie Davidson and directed by Michael Williamson, a Dora Award nominated artist.

So grab your friends, grab your drinks and join us at the cabin for Girls’ Night Cabin Fever at the 2024 Toronto Fringe Festival!
