Toronto, Dance!

Subject: Seeking Volunteers for the Toronto Fringe Festival

http://www.fringetoronto.com

For our seventeenth anniversary we anticipate yet another Fringe Festival filled with fun and frantic theatre-going.

It's time to start thinking of booking off some time to volunteer on site at one of Toronto's busiest festivals.

The 2005 Fringe of Toronto Theatre Festival will shake up the theatre scene from July 6th to July 17th with 127 companies presenting eclectic work by artists from all over Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, South Africa and Australia.

That's why we need you.
We'll work with over 300 volunteers to fill almost 1000 volunteer positions.

If you would like to be part of the 2005 Fringe, please drop us an email at volunteer@fringetoronto.com or give us a call at 416-966-1062.

Thanks and we'll look forward to hearing from you soon!!
