Toronto, January 2013 – 2012 Toronto Fringe Festival favourite Help Yourself by Kat Sandler, co-created by Daniel Pagett, is returning to Toronto January 11 – 19, 2013 at the Red Sandcastle Theatre in Leslieville (922 Queen St. E).
Help Yourself debuted in July 2012 to sold-out houses at the George Ignatieff Theatre as part of the Toronto Fringe Festival. The play was awarded “Best New Play”, “Patrons’ Pick” and “Best of Fringe.” Sean Davidson of NOW said “Crackling dialogue…A rocket ride through tough questions (and flip answers) about what keeps us good even when we want to be bad.”
Help Yourself is the story of 35-year-old Donny who is in the business of clearing consciences. Audiences learn that for a hefty sum Donny will help clients justify to themselves their desired immoral actions. Donny’s life is great – fancy condo, beautiful girlfriend and swanky dinners – until a new client sparks a gut-wrenching, high-stakes session that will leave audiences wondering if breaking the rules is ever worth the payoff.
The January 2013 performances will feature the original Fringe Festival cast: Tim Walker (Jon Kaplan’s Top 10 theatre artists of 2012), Daniel Pagett and Tosha Doiron. Help Yourself is being presented by The Falling Baby Co-op.
Other shows developed by Theatre Brouhaha include Delicacy by Kat Sandler, LOVESEXMONEY by Kat Sandler and a staging of 27 Wagons Full of Cotton by Tennessee Williams in The Tennessee Project.
2012 Fringe Festival hit ‘Help Yourself’ by Kat Sandler is back with 9 shows at Red Sandcastle Theatre January 11 – 19, 2013
