Let’s go to the Fringe!

This year, the Annual Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival (lovingly known as “the Fringe”), is celebrating its 35th anniversary! The Fringe takes place on and around Edmonton’s famed Whyte Avenue and lasts a glorious ten days (August 11–21). As theatre lovers, we sometimes enjoy taking our noses out of a book and watching words come to life.

So what are we looking forward to seeing at this year’s festival? Well aside from mini donuts, Fat Franks, and all the great outdoor entertainment, we are hoping to catch these shows:

Cavalleria Rusticana

Big Stupid Improv Show

The Diary of Anne Frank

FRAZ vs The Future

What Gives?

CLIMB
