After a sold-out run at last summer’s Toronto Fringe Festival, The Howland Company’s Best of Fringe hit 52 Pick-Up returns this March for a three-week run at the Fraser Studios. Directed by Courtney Lancaster and Paolo Santalucia and led by a rotating cast of some of Toronto’s most exciting young actors, this award-winning play offers an intimate and funny look at a relationship through a game of 52 Pick-Up. How it works: 52 scene titles are written on an ordinary deck of playing cards. At the top of each show actors toss the cards in the air and the story follows the order in which they are randomly picked up. No two shows will ever be the same!

At the top of each show actors toss the cards in the air and the story follows the order in which they are randomly picked up. No two shows will ever be the same!
