WELCOME
On behalf of the Government of Ontario, I am delighted to
extend greetings to everyone attending and celebrating
the 25th anniversary of the Toronto Fringe Theatre Festival.
As Councillor for Ward 19, it gives me great pleasure to
extend greetings and a warm welcome to the audiences
of the 25th Annual Toronto Fringe Festival.
Congratulations on reaching this significant milestone - the result
of a great deal of work to provide entertaining, innovative and
thought-provoking programs and performances for so many people
over the years.
The Toronto Fringe Festival is a celebration of emerging and established
artists throughout the City of Toronto and their accomplishments. It is
reflective of Toronto’s position as one of the world’s most eclectic cities
and a key centre for Canada’s film and theatre industry. Productions
during the Fringe range from dramas to musicals and improv to dance
that take place over 12 days at various locations throughout the city.
I applaud you for your achievements, the talented performers for
their professionalism and dedication to their craft, and the staff and
volunteers who continue to give so much of themselves to ensure this
festival takes place each year.
Your continued contribution to arts and culture in Ontario is appreciated.
I wish all of you much continued success in making memories that
inspire, challenge and move people to better understand themselves,
their communities and the world in which we live.
Best wishes for an enjoyable anniversary festival!
Yours truly,
The Toronto Fringe Festival presents a wonderful opportunity to ignite
the spirit of creativity while showcasing the exceptional talent of
outstanding artists who add to our city’s reputation as a world leading
creative centre.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the Board of Directors,
staff, and volunteers of the Toronto Fringe Festival who have worked
tirelessly to make this festival the most fun, accessible and cutting
edge for the past 25 years. I have no doubts that this year will be no
exception.
Please accept my best wishes for an enjoyable festival and continued
success.
Yours in community,
Michael Chan
Minister
Mike Layton
City Councillor

FRINGE HOTLINE AND ADVANCED TICKETS (416) 966-1062
Welcome to the 25th Anniversary of the Toronto
Fringe Festival!
In the summer of ’89 the Toronto Fringe was born. It followed in the
footsteps of successful Canadian fringes in Edmonton, Vancouver,
Victoria and Winnipeg. The Toronto Fringe offered audiences a blend
of conventional and unconventional plays that were truly a feast for the
artistically curious. Like its Western predecessors, the Toronto Fringe
was accessible, affordable and encouraged artists to create their work
without artistic restrictions.

Over the years we have grown into Toronto’s largest theatre festival,
welcoming over 90,000 patrons annually. Since 1989, we have returned
over $5,000,000 to more than 2,500 theatre productions. Some of
Canada’s finest theatre artists have presented unforgettable work at
the Toronto Fringe - we have grown from a little indie festival that
could, to a cultural mainstay in the Toronto landscape.
The Fringe Festival’s success has spawned year-round activities for
the organization, including the Next Stage Theatre Festival, which just
completed its 6th successful year. In 2011 we opened our Creation Lab,
which boasts two fully equipped creation spaces that can be rented
for as little as $6/hour. The spaces are buzzing with activity, with indie
artists of all disciplines and genres developing new and exciting work.
For our 25th, you will notice we’ve given the Fringe Club a facelift,
adding buskers and bands as well as a sassy new look. Special events
like the 25th Anniversary Alumni Party at the Tranzac Club invite you to
take a trip down memory lane, and our Cell Phone Scavenger Hunt on
Speed will test your Fringe knowledge. As always, our theatre venues
are jam-packed with eclectic shows, and this year you can step outside
the black box to see 20 site-specific plays. We have also expanded our
very popular “Tent Talk” series that invites the community to share in
lively discussions on the issues that shape our industry. This is sure to
be our most exciting Fringe to date!
On a personal note, I would like to welcome Lucy Eveleigh as our new
General Manager, as well as bid a fond farewell to our Managing
Director Kathryn Westoll. Kathryn is the mastermind behind our
festival and we will miss her so much! We have benefitted from her
collaborative nature and Kathryn has been a big part in making the
festival what it is today. We are very sad to see her go!

The Club is where artists, audiences, staff and volunteers come to meet, share
information and have fun. With nightly food service, music, art and debate, you can
start and end your Fringe days in the middle of all the action.
2. STAY INFORMED - Between this program guide, our website (www.fringetoronto.
com), our twitter feed (#FringeTO) and our facebook page, you’ll know everything we
know. Our incredible media partners, NOW Magazine, can tell you the rest – check out
www.nowtoronto.com for reviews, gossip and user-submitted debate.
3. THERE’S ALWAYS MORE TO SEE AT THE FRINGE – Not only can you catch an
extra performance of each venue’s hottest show on the last day of the festival with the
Patrons’ Pick, but some of the sell-outs you missed will be playing at the Best Of Fringe .
4. TAKE A CHANCE – The wonder of the Fringe is that you never really know what
you’re going to see. The four star shows may not be your cup of tea, and the “one star
wonders” can sometimes be the most fun. Make sure you chat up your neighbour in
line or the artist in the tent to uncover that hidden gem.

“”Raucously funny, rich, varied and
grisly... Highly Recommended”” -NZ
Theatreview”
What would happen if Shakespeare’s
Ophelia and Desdemona came back
from the swamps of death where
they have endured the longest exile?
Resurrected by their desire to expose
the “abusers” and “murderers”, they
would revel in denouncing “Man”;
they would destroy, with delight,
the established values of a Man’s
society. A biting, Bouffon-inspired
satire.

The future is heading right towards
us. Fast. In his debut solo show,
Nussbaum explores the implications
of our technological dependence for
the purposes of self-”improvement”.
Using monologues, sketches
and illustrations, he makes no
guarantees for any real solutions.
But at least there’ll be jokes.
Music, dance and words come
together in Donna Greenberg’s
one-woman theatrical about love
and love gone wrong. BURNT…and
toasted! journeys through the singer/
songwriter/choreographer/dancer’s
life…a coming out of the ashes with
fire and passion to rediscover selfworth. Donna brings to the Fringe
stage a riveting story that resonates
to the core!

Thirty five years after his death, Elvis

Just like Taliban soldiers, journalists
feel it is their God-given duty to
search out the ”one truth”. Set in
Afghanistan, ”The Taliban Don’t Like
My Knickers” is loosely based on
the the accounts of Yvonne Ridley,
a British journalist captured by the
Taliban in 2001.
A boy who vanished in 1958 starts to
speak through the radio, endangering
his family. A young woman’s only
chance at solving the mystery is by
teaming up with someone she hardly
knows: her mother.

Have you ever had an accidental
orgasm in the shoe department?
Or wondered when Uggs and
flip-flops became acceptable dinner
attire? In a world full of options,
why do we opt to cope rather than
celebrate? And how do we navigate
our obsession with finding True
Happiness? Perhaps it begins one
pair of impossibly high stilettos at

Productions from New York, NY
In August of 1968, an Indiana farm
girl stepped off a plane in Saigon.
The events that led her there and
her ensuing adventures make for
an incredible true story that is “a
consistently thrilling celebration of
the places we go and the people we
meet.”
Sick and tired of short jokes
and snobbery amongst the gay
population, Lucas, a sexually
frustrated and vertically challenged
young top, is ready to fight back.
Armed with only a laptop and a
quick wit, our gallant hero addresses
the loaded topic of sex and how it
divides us, rather than unites us, in a
time of need.

presented by Mix Mix
from Toronto, ON
England’s well-loved surreal physical
comedy duo – James & Jamesy
– push the conventions of theatre
off the stage as they lure you into
their “delightfully bizarre” world
with their innocence and “endearing
chemistry.”
Good Women showcases two
original works; Shatterstate and Pod,
both exploring different states of
fracture. Shatterstate investigates
how reconnecting with a particular
state can cause a disconnect as the
dancers develop physical accounts
of four visual experiences. Pod
reveals the dynamic journey of an
organism that fractures into two
separate entities.

When Emily tears a ligament in her
leg, she is forced to spend a year on
crutches and reconsider her dreams
of being a dancer. A multimedia
dance-theatre piece from the
company that won Best of Hamilton
Fringe in 2012, “Here” examines the
notions of being stuck and learning
when to say goodbye to something
you love.
Jack your Body explores the
evolution of underground social
dances from the 70s-90s. By
blending diverse dances such as
waacking, voguing & house with
contemporary concepts, issues of
race, gender, and social status are
investigated. The cast, pose, strut,
waack and jack their way through
soul train, paradise garage and other
iconic street dance scenarios.

Give Up the Ghost
The Great Operatini makes his
“triumphant” return to the stage.
He will attempt to bring back
his wife who vanished during a
trick five years ago. With the aid
of his mysterious assistant, the
tenor-magician puts his bumbling
magic tricks to work. But how
much does the assistant hide and
can the Operatini see past his own
buffoonery to reach the final trick?
Three siblings and their estranged
uncle convene at a cabin in
Northern Ontario to plan the final
arrangements for their antagonistic
grandfather. Over the course
of a weekend, some of these
disenchanted youth discover the
secret world of a presumably
ordinary man; Others are forced
to determine once and for all, who
needs family anyway?
Ousted from his job as a civil
servant, Henri Boulanger doesn’t
want to live anymore, but can’t
seem to off himself, so he hires a
professional to do the job. Then
his luck starts to change and he
reconsiders dying. Can he convince
the hired gun to stop?

with sacrifices and mistakes along
the way. A one-woman show by
Julie Brar
TRIP is three short plays that ask:
What happens when we make a

performance of one man, this soloshow takes you through the fabled
halls of rock music’s lost Gods, inside
the mind of a man coping with grief,
and onto the battlefield between
genetically modified genius-monkeys

A breathtaking fusion of clowning,
aerial hoop, juggling, contortion,
hip-hop, puppetry and general
ridiculousness, Circadelix’s “Twisted

uniquely heartfelt story through the
eyes of a slightly deranged clown

First the words rev up, then they
start rebelling.
“Hilarious… hypnotic… A true
Fringe gem.” - Now.
“Highest calibre… Remarkable
presence… Brilliant.” HHHHH
- Montreal Gazette.
“Absolute master… Sharp standup... Bravo”. - Vancouver Sun.
With one sweet popsong, a mighty
happy downer, some personal
fiascos.
And enough chummy insults for
everyone.

by Who’s There Theatre
A clown having trouble dealing
with life issues in his home country
decides to come to “the first world”
searching for a new beginning. Only
to realize that the issues that afflict
him laid always within himself.
Who’s There Theatre’s debut
production is a play inspired
by interviews with Toronto’s
homeless community. An epidemic
hits Toronto, causing people to
mysteriously disappear, and the
city is forced to change in order
to survive. A collection of stories
about the irony of living in a city of
2.7 million people where everyone
is alone.
by Silent Protagonist (Based
on a work by Graeme Black
Robinson)
OH GOD–THE DRUMS is a one-man
comedy that chronicles a musical
love affair between a boy and his
drums. From divorce and family
dysfunction, to first crushes and
life-long friendships, it’s a warmly
nostalgic and funny tale about the
awkwardness, humour and pain of
adolescence as viewed from the
back of the band. Won Best New
Script (Hamilton Fringe 2013).
presented by Silent Protagonist
from Toronto, ON
This contemporary fairy tale, set in
Toronto, tells the story of a young
man in search of a home. His search
leads him beneath the city, into an
abandoned subway tunnel, where
dark and dangerous creatures lurk
and only the hungriest survive.
Or Be Eaten is an exciting adventure
into the mysterious underbelly of
the city told with mask, song, and
puppetry.

The Mitchells are dreaming of

Assurance has just the product to
help them realize their dreams. But
can they live with the consequences?
And for how long? The Retirement
Plan is a comedic cautionary tale
examining one family’s priorities, and
the trade-offs they make trying to
control their future.
A young peasant is on a hero’s
journey... except the peasant is a
dance prodigy.
An evil wizard plots to conquer
the world... but he’s just trying to
impress a blind date.
These are Tomes: improvised
adaptations of (the covers of)
forgotten paperback fantasy novels,
stories that will never be read or
repeated. A new book and adventure

“Hilarious and physical comedy that
easily rivals anything currently on
late-night TV” - NOW Magazine
Blue Moon Girls is about love,
friendship and secrets.
Julie and Sonya meet as teenagers
in the small, Métis-French town
of Blue Moon. Complications arise
when they both fall in love with
Christian and sacrifices are made
by all.
Heartfelt and funny, this play asks:
What is real love, and perhaps more
importantly, what does it cost?
A performance piece in the absurdist
tradition, which dives into the
chaotic soup of our minds, exposing
our worries and enacting our deep
seated fear of humiliation if we
are “found out”. A combination of
spoken word and sometimes-frenetic
movement, which brings us face to
face with the question of our own
significance in the universe. And
yes, we are.

The day is now. 4:03. Over and over
in infinite alternate realities.
3 people. Bill, Elaine, Ted. Elaine
married Bill and they now have a
grown child. Or not. Elaine married
Ted and Ted lost his friendship to Bill.
Or Bill and Ted stayed friends and
both lost Elaine. Surely there’s one
reality where all three managed to
live happily ever after?

If you’re tired of modern dance that
takes itself way too seriously, O(h) is
perfect for you. They tear apart their
process of making dances, speak
directly to the audience, rewrite
and sing iconic rock songs, borrow
from famous choreographers, deploy
lightning-quick banter, and toss in
a dash of breakin’. Dance. Theater.
Comedy. O(h), it’s also Hilarious.

Annemieke Wade is the Famous
St. Francis who talks to the birds;
played here by Cameron Johnston

Grave-robbing! Cat dissections!
Petticoats! Based on a bizarrely

innocent
presented by Zeb L. West
from Austin, Texas, USA
presented by Theatre Poisons
Everything Theatre Company
from Toronto, ON
http://liftyourfeet.com
presented by It’s Just A Stage We’re
Going Through from Toronto, ON
The Collectors is a charming,
grotesque comedy about emotional
poverty and debt. Hannah Parson, a
beautiful woman in her early 30’s,
is harassed and abused by three
relentless collectors while she
struggles to create meaningful art in
her disheveled apartment.
Don Quixote spends most of this
comedy adventure re-telling the
story of Moby Dick! See Sancho
Panza (as Ishmael) and Ahab battle
the white whale windmill! This solo
adventure uses puppets, masks,
old-timey stagecraft, physical
comedy, and sea shanties to smash
two literary epics into an hour of
shameless antics! Zeb West is a
puppeteer from Austin, Texas.
The Catholic Church is dying.
Adherents are abandoning
Catholicism left and right. A new
Pope has just been elected, and
he and his trusted Cardinals have
come up with a scheme that they
hope will save the church. Their
plan: fake the Second Coming and
have Jesus absolve the church of all
wrongdoing.
A woman encounters a dying animal
on a lonely road, and realizes she is
facing the loss of something within
herself. Part myth, part reality, Just
Lift Your Feet is a mesmerizing fable
of a woman, a creator, an artist who
longs to deeply connect to others,
to embrace and embody life... but
suddenly realizes the connection, the
embrace... is gone.

presented by Doctor Keir Co.
from Montreal, QC
Three original choreographies
presenting life through the eyes
of women on the edge. Erratic,
eccentric, emotional; a physically
intense experience unlike anything
else at this year’s Fringe.
Tim and Rose have fallen in love,
they think, Betty and Dean have
been in love for 15 years, they think.
When Betty finds out Rose has been
hiding her new boyfriend, she throws
a dinner party, but what happens is
Supperfesta. A place where you may
or may not wear pants and things get
set on fire. A new comedic play that
looks into relationships old and new.
“Teaching Hamlet” is a two-actor
comedy about William Shakespeare
and his greatest play.

Father Thomas is a man of God. But
his faith is shaken when it appears
he is being haunted by a demon. As
a last resort, he tests his faith by
taking part in an unholy seance.
You try to do the right thing, don’t
you? You try to be a good person,
share, help others... be the nice
guy or girl. And look where that got
you: aimlessly trying to find a show
to watch at the Toronto Fringe like
some sort of entertainment starved
savage. It’s time to learn how to fix
the problems in your life from a truly
bad person. It’s time to be evil.

“Corpus Matris” celebrates
provocative, subversive goddesses
and rebel women in love, drawing
upon sublime and grotesque female
figures in folkloric and tantric lore
from India. The production marks
traditional classical Indian dance in
dialogue with contemporary staging.
This is the Canadian premiere of this
production.
In late 19th century Paris, Augustine,
Blanche, and Geneviève are the
most famous patients of JeanMartin Charcot at the Salpêtrière
insane asylum for women. Join
them on a metatheatrical odyssey
through madness and hysteria, the
very darkest recess of psychiatric
medicine. But something seems to
be going wrong...

Fort Isabel
presented by ChickenWing Theatre
from Toronto, ON
http://fortisabel.tumblr.com
presented by Blood Orange Theatre &
Deviant Productions from Toronto, ON
by Shayne Monaghan
by Sarah Miller-Garvin
A story about two friends who start
to believe there a zombie apocalypse
on the horizon. One trying to move on
and grow up, the other cliched to his
youth, letting his imagination take
him and his friend away from reality.
We follow them on their quest to try
and save the world.
Director: Stephanie Crothers
Cast: “David Moote as Kevin Link,
Mark Willett as Andy Keasby”
Genre: Play
Two children find a dead body in rural
Ontario. Their town flies into a queer
panic, but the children stay silent.
Eight years later, one of the friends
disappears without warning.
Fort Isabel is a play that explores the
childhood experiences that shape
us as adults, and how sometimes
the deepest secrets are the ones we
keep from ourselves.

Maire Bassards Off Broadway Hit,
JIMMY, the homosexual hairdresser
is the dream of an American general
in the 1950’s who dies and leaves
JIMMY and his lover caught in no
man’s land at the top of pleasure.
Dave’s the it man in the office!
Promotion, baby! It’s the success
story we all hear about, and now
Dave can’t wait to share his climb to
the top with you. At least, that’s the
plan... unless the boss, his awful coworkers, his needy father, and a little
trouble with the law get in his way.
It’s 1951 and Communist paranoia
has begun. Three fading radio stars
and one producer are sequestered
in an old army bunker to churn out
on-air short plays for “Liberty! Free!
Radio”, a 24 hour a day Democracy
propaganda machine.

Sometimes one musical is not
enough!
If you can’t write an OKLAHOMA
or CABARET, a SWEENEY TODD, a
MAME, or a PHANTOM, then you
might as well just pretend you wrote
them. Why be a second-rate original
when you could be a first-rate

“What is the point in trying to be a
good person, and like, not murder
anyone? Because you can murder
somebody and still have someone
love you. Right?”
This is Layla. She’s probably a lot like
you. But maybe not. She thinks about
things. Things she wants to forget.
Do you ever want to forget?

One battle cry, a dash of sibling
rivalry, a generous serving of heart,
and a blend of Martha Stewart
and Hell’s Kitchen, garnished with
danger and delight. Full of munchies,
mess, and mayhem, Go Bake
Yourself is a culinary masterpiece
you won’t forget. The Dora Awardwinning show returns in a full-length
version after sold-out runs at Next
Stage and Cahoots

Theatre from Toronto, ON
In a deserted building, three women
wait. Two are armed and the third
is their bound and gagged captive
who lies unconscious on the floor.
The hostage, a policewoman, is the
trump card in the tense face-off
between protestors and armed
police. As night and claustrophobia
set in, the call does not come.
“Adam and Eve were real, of course,
but this, right here, this is a play...
a play about Adam and Eve set in
Eden, USA, nineteen sixty five. And
it is possible we are over thinking
that”.
This play-within-a-play-within-achurch mixes meta-theatrical antics
and religious satire with hilarious
results!

Paprika Festival.

The Fringe means so many things to so many people, and we’re honoured to have two theatre luminaries supporting the work of our artists through the
generous funding of two awards for Fringe Artists.
THE ED MIRVISH AWARD FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP
This award, created by David Mirvish in honour of his father, recognises the entrepreneurship of our independent artists. Mirvish Productions know the
power of the Fringe, having remounted three particularly famous productions over the past 15 years - The Drowsy Chaperone, ‘da Kink in My Hair, and most
recently My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding. The Ed Mirvish Award will be claimed by the mainstage Fringe company that sells the highest
proportion of its available seats, in celebration of the hard work, innovation and creativity that goes into making a Fringe show a success.
TOSHO CUTTING-EDGE AWARD
Supported by Tosho Knife Arts, the Tosho Cutting-Edge Award is an audience nominated award for the most cutting edge performance at the Toronto Fringe
Festival. The Artist Prize is a premium knife donated by Tosho Knife Arts. Productions can be nominated by emailing: cuttingedge@fringetoronto.com.
Voters must include their own name, address, & phone number in the body of the email and put the name of the show in the
subject line. All votes must be placed before Tuesday, July 9th at midnight.
Along with the Artist Prize, Tosho Knife Arts and the Toronto Fringe are sponsoring an Audience Prize. Each nomination counts
as a ballot in a random e-mail draw for a VIP Pass to the Next Stage Festival and a beautiful knife from Tosho Knife Arts. Awards
ceremony will be held at the Fringe Club on Wednesday, July 10th at 9pm.

It started as a sudden strange fancy:
Polly Perks needed to join the army
to find her lost brother. A haircut,
a change of clothes, and an extra
pair of socks later, Polly is now Pvt.
Oliver Perks, marching off to war in
this darkly funny satire of army life,
complete with trademark Pratchett
wit, some cross-dressing, and a
coffee-obsessed vampire.

Inspired by the gender performance
theories of Judith Butler, witness
Andrew (the big spoon) and Charles
(the little spoon) embrace and
deconstruct the heteronormative
roles prescribed to their homosexual
relationship. Sexy violence, campy
music, queer theory, and lots and
lots and lots of spoons.
Sexual/emotional/intellectual failure.
And milk
Direct from off Broadway’s Mid
Winter Madness Festival 2013! A
quirky Montreal actor ventures into
the world seeking her holy grail, an
American work visa. What she finds
instead is small town mix-ups, a
husband who neither understands
nor cares about creative ambitions,
strange neighbours and no escape
in sight. Messy. Juicy. Seedy. Bitter.
Sweet.

177 days on a lonely Scottish island:
I went there to find myself,
but lost my mind instead.
A true story of standing stones,
superstition... and sheep.
On the eve of modern Prohibition
in Canada, a group of would-be
revolutionaries declare their
favourite bar a sovereign nation.
From the makers of Delicacy, Rock,
and last year’s Best of Fringe hit
Help Yourself comes a new kind of
revolution: part Occupy and part Lord
of the Flies, all at Toronto’s historic
bar The Paddock. Join the revolution.
Be the bomb.

Toronto’s secret art squat: 401A.
Never heard of it? Didn’t think so.
When founding act Suzy returns
to find it taken over by a hipster
duo, she doesn’t get even – she
gets drunk. A perky reporter, an
awkward cop & an unexpected
comeback connect in this raucous
but heartwarming musical. Seating
is limited. First 3 rows may get
mouth herpes.
Big Metal Box
by Kristofer Van Soelen
A Muslim woman’s prayer, a mailorder-bride, a serious identity crisis,
domestic abuse, and a homeless
man with a hero complex -- or is that
a hero with an inferiority complex?
This show is a collection of short
plays ranging from the hilarious
to the deadly serious with nothing
in common but their setting and
their quality. A storage locker. And
excellent.

The bible is never a dull read. It
abounds with scenes of warrior
queens and concubines, of smitten
stepfathers and falls from grace.
While the focus tends to be on
the divine, scripture is at its most
sublime when it deals with themes
of human love and eroticism. For
the first time ever, these stories
will be brought to life in an outdoor
burlesque show.

Werneburg

This is a love story. This is a comedy.
This is two women playing all the
parts. This is the Jane Austen you
love with a squeeze of lemon. This
is you moving through historic
Campbell House with the story.
This is you getting caught up, swept
away, laughing out loud.

THE CREATION LAB: A PLAYGROUND, A A MESSAGE FROM THE CANADIAN
WORKSHOP AND A HOME
ASSOCIATION OF FRINGE FESTIVALS
Since we opened the Creation Lab in September of 2011 we have
offered 8,000+ subsidized studio hours to local actors, writers,
improvisers, artists, filmmakers, dancers and culture-creators! Over
half of those hours were offered to our community at the incredible
price of $6/hr.
How do we do it? Since we return all box office revenue from the
Fringe Festival to participating companies, our staff works tirelessly
to secure the grants, donations and funding that will ensure that the
Lab will flourish for years to come. We take the funding we secure and
funnel it right back into the Creation Lab, subsidizing the beautiful loftstyle studios that would otherwise cost $22/hr to rent.
Why do we do it? We do it because we believe that a safe, clean
and beautiful creation space is one of the most essential resources
for artistic creation. We believe that by investing in our community of
indie artists there will not just be more theatre but better theatre. We
have been the leading advocate for the indie theatre community for 25
years now and have seen it grow from humble roots to a creative force:
a force that shapes policy, artistic trends and cultural programming at
all the major theatre institutions in the city. In Toronto, our indie family
is responsible for the fertile ground that serves as the bedrock of this
community. And we’re happy to give them a playground, a workshop
and a home.
Over 30 years ago, Fringe Festivals in North America were
born. It all came about when Brian Paisley, the founder of the
Edmonton International Fringe Festival took a simple idea and
brought it to life.
The idea? Give theatre artists a place to show untested work and
make the audience a part of the experiment. Three decades later
Fringe Festivals are flourishing all across North America, many of
them following the “Canadian model,” which champions those original
circumstances: artistic freedom and opportunity, affordable tickets,
and artistic entrepreneurship (artists receive 100% of regular ticket
price!). That means that artists have the chance to try whatever they
like on stage and audiences have the opportunity to see work that is
raw and untested. This idea has proven to be massively successful
because it is so different from the norm. Artistic tradition around
the world is governed by the idea of excellence; so, by insisting that
opportunity is more important than excellence (and that, in fact, it will
lead to excellence), we have created an artistic environment like no
other on Earth.
On behalf of the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals, I thank you
for believing in our simple, yet radical, idea and participating in its
ongoing success.
Fringefully yours,

If you would like to donate to help secure the future of this precious
community resource, please TIP THE FRINGE generously or call 416966-1062 x 8.
