Soup Can Theatre

I don’t know about you, but we are getting excited for the Toronto Fringe Festival – now just under a month away! We are even more excited about our Fringe show, Love is a Poverty You Can Sell 2: Kisses for a Pfennig – the much anticipated sequel to our 2010 smash hit! To whet your appetite for what is going to be one firecracker of a show here are some tasty preview photos!

Many thanks to our good friend Lauren Vandenbrook for taking these wonderful shots! Please check out her other work at www.LVimagery.net.

I know we all have to pick our battles when it comes to how we spend our time and money – and up to now you’ve just had to trust us when we say our production is worth both – but don’t don’t take our word for it, check out what reviewer Leslie Barcza has to say:

“Bravo for the Brilliant Pairing … Makes a Powerful Impression … If this is Hell, I like it.“

Yup, our unique double bill of Samuel Barber’s A Hand of Bridge and Jean Paul Sartre’s No Exit opens tonight! If a skilled and vibrant cast, a live fourteen piece orchestra, and an ‘in the round’ performance on a custom built stage weren’t enough reason to come, then how about…

… The fact that our production is an editor’s pick in both Torontoist AND BlogTO …

… This thoughtful interview cast members Tennille Read (No Exit) and Keith O’Brien (A Hand of Bridge) did with Regent Radio’s Tien Providence …

… Our mascot “Bertram”. Wondering what, or even why he is? You’ll just have to come to the show and find out!
