Vancouver International Fringe Festival
Where & when: September 9th - 19th, 2010 @ various locations & times - venue and show information can be found here.
Cost: various ticket prices - ticket information can be found here.
Why you should go: With only six days left of Fringe you don't want to miss your chance to catch BC’s largest theatre festival and North America’s most international Fringe Fest! There are still a few tickets left for many of the performances so make sure to grab the ones you want quickly. You really cannot go wrong with with any of the performances but the two that have really piqued our interest is Doctor Horrible's Sing-ALong Blog which is a live theatre production based on Joss Whedon’s popular online short film (Joss Whedon is the creator of the TV shows Buffy and Angel among others) and our second pic is Wicked Shorts - four short, sweet, delectable plays, set in Wicked Cafe. From blind-dating to monstermating, it’s theatre for the attention deficit and over caffeinated.
