The ON THE EDGE Fringe Festival returns this week.
It’s the 13th event, with shows covering several genres including theatre, comedy, dance, music, and spoken word/storytelling.
From Aug. 12-16, there are nine Fringe shows, six Duality presentations, as well as other arts events and activities throughout the week at the Capitol Centre.
A mix of local and out-of-town artists are involved.
There’s also a special night of presentations Tuesday at Aanmitaagzi Story Makers’ Big Medicine Studio on Couchie Memorial Drive.
Other events during the festival include a grant information session, a musical theatre workshop, and a pop-up speakers’ corner.
The festival is also partnering with a handful of downtown restaurants for their second annual “Fringe Fries” competition.
They’ll be created as a special menu item then voted on by the public, with the winning restaurant announced during the annual Fringe awards at the end of the festival.
Participating restaurants include Cecil’s Brewhouse & Kitchen, Northern Himalayan Café, Lou Dawg’s Southern BBQ, The Moose’s Cookhouse, and The Block Public House.
Tickets and passes are available through the Capitol Centre’s box office in-person, over the phone, or their website.
