Theatre On Toast (TOT) is focused on fun, relevant and creative experiences, bringing much ridiculousness and laughter to the world.
Formed in 2008, post founder Alyce Fisher, graduating from the Theatre Arts Diploma, Swinburne University and being awarded The Venture Cup (a $10,000 small business award). TOT originally focused on Theatre & Education, touring extensively across Melbourne, regional Victoria and NSW with their shows ‘Billi’s Backyard’ for Primary Schools and ‘Theatre On Toast presents why you wear a Dinga, Franga, Rubber’ for Universities.

TOT is presently in creative development with another solo work, ‘Parenting Partners. She is not the vessel; He is not the donor’.
