New musical at Fringe!

As most of our readers know - EAP is dedicated to the development of new musicals. At this year's FRINGE festival we have a new musical that is making audiences stand up and cheer. News like this that trickles through the community is always a good sign. It not only signals that we have a possible hit on our hands, but encourages us to believe we have a 'strong' musical production on our hands, for the show seems to be truly connecting with its audience.

An ensemble cast, including the delightful Shannon Taylor, heads up the musical about an all female hockey team!!! EAP will be checking out the musical in the coming days and will post a mini review, however, right now we know the audiences and critics around the city are both enjoying the show - so this is a hot pick of ours at this year's Toronto Fringe Festival!

Here are the details:
