About Fringe Theatre

Fringe theatre is an unjuried festival format that provides developed venues to independent artists. Ticket prices are set by the artist with 100% of the ticket revenue, less GST, being paid to the artists.

In exchange for your application fee ($656.00), we provide a theatre venue with a technician, light and sound gear, front of house staff, and box office services. Our average venue capacity is 120 seats. The performance schedule will include one three hour rehearsal and six scheduled shows during our ten day event. Show information will be included in a widely distributed free festival program. We provide billeting services to travelling artists, based on the capacity of our community.

Artists will provide all the necessary stage props, support materials for our Technical Director and crew (prompt book, special equipment, projection requirements, etc.), and a stage manager for technically complex shows. Maximum show length is 75 minutes.

Please consider experiencing the fantastic Fringe audiences in Saskatoon as we build the "Best Little Fringe" in Canada. We will begin accepting applications on September 7, 2007 on a first come first served basis.
