Greetings Lots of great words start with F: Feisty. Fortuitous. Fandango. But my favourite F word is also my favourite time of year: FRINGE. Every July, Manitobans are treated to some of the most fearless, cutting-edge performances from here at home and around the world. Fringers flock to Old Market Square, which becomes a feverish hub of flamboyant, flashy fun. There is something fantastic and electric about allowing artists to create work without limits and it’s wonderful to see Winnipeggers embrace this concept. The fabulous support from patrons last year resulted in a record-setting ticketed attendance of more than 100,000 for our 25th anniversary Fringe and we are looking forward to another amazing festival. A couple of exciting new F words this year are the FREE Fringe Flyer shuttle that will facilitate Fringers getting to and from some of the more distant main venues. Be sure to check out the program and our website for all the other Fringe facts and figures. Get ready to dive in and embrace the F word. Happy Fringing!

I have spent most of my adult life filling spiral-bound notebooks with six Mainstage play titles and another four for the Warehouse. I never tire of this necessary doodling, but I’m also endlessly grateful that I don’t need to doodle hundreds of plays for the Fringe Festival as well. The audience members make their own lists, scheduling performances, planning travel routes between venues and sifting through press materials, reviews and wordof-mouth to select the plays that will make up their own mini festival within the larger Fringe. They then set off on a quest to find the perfect show, like Long John Silver and young Jim Hawkins, clutching their Fringe programs like treasure maps. MTC fostered the festival to launch new artists and new work, and to encourage audiences to take theatrical risks. It has become a vital component in fulfilling MTC’s mission to present the widest spectrum of theatre art. But, perhaps most importantly, the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival reminds us that we don’t always need an artistic director like me to mediate between the art and the audience. Yours always,

Steven Schipper

The Harry S. Rintoul Memorial Award Every year at the Fringe, the Manitoba Association of Playwrights (MAP) gives an award for best new Manitoban play at the festival to honour the memory of Harry Rintoul, a leading playwright and founding Artistic Director of Theatre Projects Manitoba.

Harry Rintoul

Fringe companies put their work forward for the award, and during the festival, theatre professionals jury the entries. When the award is presented on the festival’s closing night, the winner receives $500 from MAP and a 2014 Super Pass donated by the Fringe. Last year’s winner was Scott Douglas for The Touring Test. 2012 Harry S. Rintoul Memorial Award recipient Scott Douglas (The Touring Test) with MAP Coordinator Rory Runnells. PHOTO BY LEIF NORMAN

Donations for the Rintoul Award can be sent to: Manitoba Association of Playwrights, 503-100 Arthur St, Winnipeg, MB R3B 1H3.

Greetings Our Government understands the important role that arts and culture play in creating vibrant communities and a strong identity. We know that creativity and innovation are vital not only to a robust Canadian culture, but also to our economy. This is why we are pleased to invest in events like the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival that encourage imagination, experimentation and originality. For a quarter of a century, this festival has been entertaining audiences with exciting and inventive performances as it pushes the boundaries of theatre.

Hon. James Moore

MINISTER, CANADIAN HERITAGE AND OFFICIAL LANGUAGES

For 12 days in July, for 26 years, the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival stretches the boundaries of conventional theatre through comedy, drama, dance, improv and musicals, with more than 160 companies from around the world. Every year, Winnipeg’s Exchange District comes alive with Fringe fever. Starting from the noon hour and stretching late into the night, people gather to watch acts on the outdoor stage, listen to buskers on the streets, and soak up the Fringe atmosphere. Fringe stages often provide aspiring actors and playwrights the first showcase for their works. The Winnipeg Fringe Festival has become a launching pad for many who go on to become professionals in their fields. Thank you to the corporate partners for their generous contributions, and the countless volunteers who help organize and run the festival every year. Our government proudly supports this celebration of creativity, ambition and innovation. Congratulations to the Fringe Festival. You are an important part of Manitoba’s rich theatre community. Happy Fringing!

Hon. Flor Marcelino

MINISTER, MANITOBA CULTURE, HERITAGE AND TOURISM

As Mayor of Winnipeg, I am delighted to extend greetings to everyone participating in the 26th anniversary of the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival. As the second largest Fringe in North America, this festival attracts thousands of event enthusiasts to historic venues scattered across our distinctive and beloved Exchange District. I am confident this year’s 160+ performing companies will engage and excite audiences, while reminding everyone of the enriching opportunities artistic expression and diversity bring to our community. I wish to thank all of the organizers, volunteers and participants who contribute their time and talent year after year. This has become an annual highlight on our summer festival circuit – one that both citizens and visitors look forward to each and every year. On behalf of the citizens of Winnipeg and my esteemed colleagues on City Council, I offer congratulations on your outstanding success over the past 26 years, and best wishes for many more successful years.

Greetings to all you 2013 Fringers out there! If you are a visitor to our wonderful city, thanks for dropping in on Winnipeg and the Fringe Festival. If you are a Winnipegger, congrats on surviving (what seemed like) a never-ending winter. Speaking of never ending, after four years of construction sites, dust and some noise, we welcome back to the Fringe the old Bijou Theatre site between Smoke’s Poutinerie and the Paterson GlobalFoods Institute. We are thrilled to once again have more real estate to work with right here in Old Market Square. The amazing sightlines are back with unobstructed views to Main Street and the park! The hard surface area and enhanced lighting provide a welcoming atmosphere and there is even more bike parking thanks to the Paterson GlobalFoods Institute. When asked if the Bijou site redevelopment was worth the wait, we say, “You betcha!” A trip to the Exchange would not be complete without visiting the new lights on Market Avenue between Main and Rorie. These interactive lights are eye catching and if you sing, clap or just give it a yell, the lights will let you know they hear you. So go ahead and give it a try. One final note: stop by the Cube Outdoor Stage every noon hour during Fringe and be entertained by top quality musical acts from around Manitoba and points unknown. The Outdoor Stage is free, free, free so the price is right. Congratulations on another year of Fringing in the Exchange!

Brian Timmerman

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, EXCHANGE DISTRICT BIZ

Over 3o years ago, Fringe Festivals in North America were born. It all came about when Brian Paisley, the founder of the Edmonton International Fringe Festival, took a simple idea and brought it to life. The idea? Give theatre artists a place to show untested work and make the audience a part of the experiment. Three decades later Fringe Festivals are flourishing all across North America, many of them following the “Canadian model,” which champions those original circumstances: artistic freedom and opportunity, affordable tickets, and artistic entrepreneurship (artists receive 100% of the regular ticket price!). That means that artists have the chance to try whatever they like on stage and audiences have the opportunity to see work that is raw and untested. This idea has proven to be massively successful because it is so different from the norm. Artistic tradition around the world is governed by the idea of excellence; so, by insisting that opportunity is more important than excellence (and that, in fact, it will lead to excellence), we have created an artistic environment like no other on Earth. On behalf of the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals, I thank you for believing in our simple, yet radical, idea and participating in its ongoing success. Fringefully yours,

David Jordan

Unravel the F Word

Fringing from A to Z

Arrive Early • At the Fringe, there are no latecomers allowed. Seating people after the doors close is just too disruptive. The festival runs on official Fringe time – available at the Info Tent, the venues or any MTS cell phone.

BYOVs (Venues 13–32) • The Fringe manages 12 regular venues that are filled through the performer lottery. Bring Your Own Venues (BYOVs) allow Fringe performers whose work is site specific, or who didn’t get drawn in the lottery to perform at the Fringe by securing their own venue and equipment.

Cell phones • Inside venues, please remember to turn off all cell phones and other devices

that beep, boop or glow. Even if you switch a phone to silent, the screen can be very bright – so please, no texting or tweeting either. Taking pictures or video is prohibited inside all Fringe venues.

Discounts • Many companies offer discounts for Fringers (matinees, students, seniors, etc.) and/or offer 2 for $10 deals for specific performances. Find these details listed in this program or on www.winnipegfringe.com. A Frequent Fringer pass or a Buddy Pass is also a good investment that will save you some cash.

Etiquette • Theatres have amazing acoustics, which means that even small noises carry.

Talking, candy wrappers and coughing are all distracting, so please respect the artists and your fellow audience members by keeping noise to a minimum and saving conversations for the end of the show.

Fringe Flyer Shuttle Bus • New to the Fringe this year, the Fringe Flyer is the best way to get to outlying venues. Running from 5:30pm–11:30 pm daily, it’s a half hour loop from Venue 9 (MTYP) to Venue 12 (WAG) and back again, with stops in front of MTC, Old Market Square and Portage Place along the way. Did we mention it’s FREE? See page 44 for complete details and route information.

Getting around • This program and our website contain user-friendly venue, parking and site maps that will point you in the right direction.

We recommend taking advantage of the Downtown Spirit during the day and the Fringe Flyer at night. If you’re using pedal power to get to the Fringe, you’ll find handy bike racks in Old Market Square and at all main venues.

Harry S. Rintoul Memorial Award • Each year, the Manitoba Association of Playwrights presents an award for Best New Manitoban Play at the Fringe. Watch for the presentation on the Outdoor Stage on the closing night of the Fringe. See page 2 for more details.

Information • For all things Fringe, stop by the Info Tent at Old Market Square. Stock up on Fringe

merchandise or purchase a program. Check the daily schedule to find out which shows are coming up and which are sold out. Friendly Fringe volunteers are on hand to answer all of your questions and queries.

non-Juried • The Fringe prides itself on being non-juried, which is a fancy way of saying performers

are selected by a random draw. This ensures artists have complete artistic control over the work they create.

Kids Fringe • It’s the place to be for young Fringers! Located in the Merchants Market between the Cube and Main Street, Kids Fringe is a free activity centre for kids and their families that runs from noon–6 pm daily. See page 9 for more details. The Fringe also offers a Kids Venue, with fantastic live theatre especially for kids. See page 10 for details.

Fringing at Old Market Square

King St. at Bannatyne Ave.

Every day during the Fringe, Old Market Square bustles with activity from noon to midnight. Not only is it the best place to meet up with fellow Fringers or see a guy juggle a chainsaw, it’s also the perfect place to people watch! Take in the atmosphere and enjoy the non-stop entertainment on the Outdoor Stage. With incredible live music, amazing feats of daring, impromptu dance parties and more, there’s something for everyone. For a full schedule, visit www.winnipegfringe.com. While access to Old Market Square is free, admission for the live entertainment is by “pass the hat.” For the Outdoor Stage performers, their only source of income is what their spur of the moment audience donates after their show. Prove how generous Winnipeggers can be and show your appreciation by tossing some cash into the hat.

Murder and Other Trivialities

Winnipeg, MB

by Gonzalo Riedel

A woman poisons her husband, who sputters and keels over but will not die. An old man strikes a deal with a drug dealer before attempting to steal his identity. Despite their best efforts, people always screw up. Perverse and funny, Murder and Other Trivialities is a double feature about criminals and lowlifes – scumbags who put their own interests before all others and to hell with everyone else.

Of the Stars and the Apples

Winnipeg, MB

by Elsa Reesor-Taylor

Have you been given the idea that you were made from someone’s rib? Have you often felt like a piece of the infinite stuck in real time? Are you fierce when faced with injustice? A changeling child shifts between Evesland, a world of stars and apples, and the world in which we meet you today, where witches have burned and love has been shamed. Voiced through poetry, prose and song, littered with sparkles and ashes, one girl’s coming of age bleeds through the confines of time and space.

HHHH – Edmonton Journal “I actually peed myself.” “Uncommonly witty.” “Fabulous intimate humour.” England’s well-loved surreal physical comedy duo lures you into their “delightfully bizarre” world with their innocence and “endearing chemistry.” Their idiosyncrasies and the calculated formalities of their tea rituals bring vitality to the mundane, turning an ordinary tea party into a fantastical wonderland of stimulation and play. Bring a teacup.

Love’s Trajectory

by The Dreamlife Players We’re all looking for something. Sometimes we find it and sometimes we find the illusion of it. Love’s Trajectory is a two-hander drama with touches of awkward comedy. It explores the all-too-common situation of two people with very different aims and outlooks getting involved. What are the chances that this relationship could work out? And is it always fun until someone gets their heart broken?

May & Alia do Pirates! (of Penzance)

Melbourne, Australia

Adapted from Gilbert and Sullivan’s original

www.i-m.co/MayandAlia/MayandAlia

It’s the chance they’ve been waiting for: the rest of the cast is held up in traffic, has been eaten by the orchestra zombies (or maybe someone just forgot to call them) and now there is no other option. May and Alia are going to have to perform the whole of Pirates of Penzance BY THEMSELVES. With nothing to fall back on but funny voices and silly hats, what results is a lighthearted clowning/ puppeteering musical which condenses two acts of Pirates into a 60-minute musket-blast of awesome.

Clarence and Desolita find their fun in the grim and macabre. With funerals, staged suicide, dark rituals of the occult, possessed puppets and perilous breakfast cereal, Desolita and Clarence revel and luxuriate in the dark, spooky, sorrowful corners of the human condition. Combining clown and puppetry with a striking visual aesthetic, a dark sense of humour and a sweetly pulpy, pulsating heart, Follies leaves audiences stark raving mad for Clarence and Desolita!

Petrick returns with true stories and tall tales from his early years of riding the rails and wandering. Lauded as “wonderfully smooth and totally engaging” by the Cincinnati Examiner and a performer who “tells a compelling story” by the Ottawa Citizen, his tales of rail yard hobos, skid row outcasts and Industrial Workers of the World socialists deliver a humorous adventure that casts a light on today’s society with the lens of the past. “A novelist’s ability to place an image in your mind.” – Kings River Life

FIRE! SEX! MURDER! Meet Henry “Tom” Gallery II. A liar. In a square of light and a flash flood of words, join Henry in a world of lies, love, hope… and the body in the next room. Daniel MacIvor’s award-winning script explores purpose, humanity and the grey area between fiction and reality. Edgy, challenging and with MacIvor’s trademark wit, it will keep you thinking long after the lights go down… and possibly wondering what just happened.

This 2009 Winnipeg Fringe favourite returns after four years of touring across Canada. Jake’s Gift is the moving and surprisingly funny story of a Manitoban Second World War veteran’s reluctant return to Juno Beach for the 60th anniversary of D-Day. At its heart, this multi-award-winning play is about the legacy of remembrance and personalizes the story behind one soldier’s grave.

Word of Mouth • Reviews are only one way to find the hot shows. Keep your ears tuned to word of mouth and go see the shows that your fellow Fringers are talking about. Furthermore: go see the shows you want to see. Then, tell others about the shows you loved!

X Factor • The great thing about the Fringe is that it’s easy to take a risk – you never know what you might discover! If it’s good, that’s great! If it’s not so good, you’re only out a few bucks and an hour of your time. So venture into the unknown and jump in headfirst!

Yummy • Feeling hungry? Food vendors at Old Market Square can help you out with that. Food trucks, gelato, mini donuts and lemonade – you’ll find it all at the Fringe. Just follow your nose!

Zoom • What hardcore Fringers do between venues in order to see as much theatre as humanly possible. Happy Fringing!

Quickies With Chekhov

Winnipeg, MB Hatched from the subtle and dark words of one of the greatest short story writers of all time comes Quickies With Chekhov, a series of vignettes depicting the brevity and wit of Anton Chekhov. A broken-hearted barber, a silver-tongued secretary, a downtrodden muse – through lenses dark and facetious, these characters come to life in a variety of adaptations.

This is not the show J.Williamez had planned to present this year. Right before he sat down to write what would surely have been one of the best shows of this year’s festival (and likely, of all time), J.Williamez got dumped by the love of his life after seven wonderful years. This show is a strange, sad, and quite frankly, very upsetting substitute for what would have been a great show. Come take part in the tragic spectacle that is J.Williamez: Dumped.

Bulging with comedy and dripping in gore, Hamlet as Told on the Streets is about to take Canadian theatre by the b@LL$. Be the first in line to see the next great show.

WORLD of

GOOD

Fair Trade helps producers in developing countries and promotes sustainability. The movement advocates the payment of higher prices to producers, as well as social and environmental standards. Fair Tradeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strategic intent is to work with marginalized producers and workers in order to help them move towards economic self-sufficiency and stability. Liquor Marts is committed to Fair Trade and is proud to offer the largest selection of Fair Trade wines in Canada. Liquor Marts is honoured to receive the 2012 Canadian Fairtrade Award in the provincial liquor board category.
