These shows won big at the 2025 Toronto Theatre Critics' Awards
Joking aside, it's an apt analogy. My fellow critics and I entered voting day with nomination lists that could likely rival in length those of the papabile. More than 100 theatre productions opened in the city between mid-May 2024 and the end of this April, the eligibility period for this season's TTCAs.

Fringe Review: Inherently Disordered is a fun and awkward delight
Inherently Disordered 4 Stars out of 5 Stage 7, Yardbird Suite, 11 Tommy Banks Way Aldrick Dugarte is a walking contradiction. He's both gay and Catholic, two things that shouldn't (at least according to the teachings of the church) co-exist. But he embraces both sides of his identity, and his show Inherently Disordered is his way of bringing those two sides of himself together and revealing how he worked to square his own circle. It's a one-man show about identity, which seems to proliferate at this year's festival. But Dugarte's tale is funny and heartwarming, weaving in jokes with the honesty of his upbringing and life.

He grew up in a Catholic family and attended McGill University, which he reminds us is the Harvard of Canada. He spent time working at a commune in Chicago and tried to extend his visa, only to be told his best option would be to get assaulted by an American. He uses the awkward antics of his experiences to great effect, pulling jokes and laughs through what would have been traumatic experiences. It's funny and fun, enlightening and entertaining all at once. Dugarte comes across as slightly awkward, but he leans into that awkwardness to great effect, and it works in this entertaining romp through his life.
