For its entry in the 2007 Toronto Fringe Festival,
the Toronto-based theatre company Trouve North invited some members
of Praxis Theatre's creative team to contribute to the production.
While this is not a Praxis Theatre production, we include it here
to express our pride in our contributions to this project.
