Eat, shop, see and do – that’s your list for the 29th annual Nutrien Fringe Theatre Festival in Saskatoon’s Broadway area.
The ten day event begins tonight (Thurs) with 33 different professional theatre companies in 6 venues, all within walking distance of Broadway, which will be blocked off to vehicle traffic from 6 to 10:30 weekday evenings for the next 10 nights and noon to 10:30 on weekends. Executive director of the Fringe Festival, Danielle Altrogge, adds that there are over 200 vendors including 35 food vendors on site. That covers the eating and shopping portion. The seeing portion includes the theatre events and live music and buskers on the street, and the doing portion could include participating in things like dance classes or family yoga. About a third of the theatre companies are from Saskatchewan, another third from Canada and the rest are international performers.
The $15 tickets for the paid performances are available online, at the box office or at each venue site.
