CUSP at TO Fringe Festival 2026

CUSP is a fresh and contemporary adaptation of Chekhov's Uncle Vanya, following eight twenty-somethings who have spent the summer at a cottage. Boredom is calcifying, romantic tensions are mounting, family dynamics are sharpening, and no one really knows what the f*ck they are going to do next. What happens when you have your whole life ahead of you, and anything is possible? You panic about the onslaught of regret that may one day come for you if you make the wrong choice, of course.

We are a collective of George Brown Theatre School graduating students who are making our industry launch and fighting the post-graduation scaries by creating and performing in one more show together.

Our production runs from July 2nd to 12th at Soulpepper's Weyni Mengesha Theatre. We would love to invite you to attend one of our performances:
