Since then, our Festival has become one of the greatest performing arts events in Calgary, and one of the largest amateur competitive festivals in North America.

The Fringe of Toronto Theatre Festival
344 Bloor St W, Unit 208, Toronto, Ontario
The Toronto Fringe is part of the "Fringe movement" - a worldwide network of indie theatre festivals. As the name suggests, the movement is about celebrating under-represented voices and those on the margins of the performing arts world. It's a festival where anyone can put on any show, without having to pass through a jury - where theatre students can mount their first production outside of school, where emerging artists can get their big break, and where established artists can test out new work. It's a festival where audiences come for the adventure and the community as much as for the plays themselves.
