The Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival is proud to call Manitoba home. The Winnipeg Fringe is located on Treaty 1 territory, the lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota and Dene peoples, and the National Homeland of the Red River Métis. We are thankful for the benefits sharing this land has afforded us, acknowledge the responsibilities of the Treaties, and embrace the opportunity to partner with Indigenous communities in the spirit of reconciliation and collaboration. @WINNIPEGFRINGE • #WPGFRINGE

Well, it’s been a very long three years since our last event, but I am so excited to welcome back all our amazing Fringe fans to the 35th annual Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival. We are so thankful for the incredible support of our funders, corporate partners and individual donors over the past two years. Thanks to their continued commitment to the Fringe, and some incredibly creative artists, we proudly presented two successful digital festivals for our community. But here we are, July 2022, and I can’t wait to see the Exchange District alive again with Fringers enjoying incredible music by a local band at Old Market Square or rushing to get in line to buy a ticket to see that exciting new play they’ve been hearing so much about. I’m so excited for all of our indoor companies who were hoping to perform in 2020 and have patiently been waiting to share their creations and stories with our incredible Fringe community. I’d like to also thank all of our dedicated volunteers and staff members for their continued commitment to the festival. Without their generous spirit, talent and enthusiasm, the Fringe would not be the tremendous success it is today. And to you, our dedicated Fringers who have embraced this wacky concept of an indie theatre festival, I want to thank you for joining us once again this summer and making the Winnipeg Fringe Festival your favourite time of the year. Have a wonderful time Fringing and I’ll see you in line.

Welcome back to the Winnipeg Fringe Festival. We are so thrilled to be able to return to live theatre this summer after two long hiatus years. And we salute all of our artists who embraced the digital medium to bring our audiences joy during isolation. The Fringe is an iconic event in the Winnipeg cultural scene, drawing artists, audiences and volunteers to the beloved Exchange District for an all-you-can-eat buffet of entertaining and impactful offerings. We are a small but mighty city with one of the most culturally savvy audiences in the North American Fringe network. That’s why artists vie for a spot in the Winnipeg Fringe Festival – it’s because of our passionate audiences! The buzz at Royal MTC is palpable right now as we welcome you all back to the incredible array of shows. Whether you are in Old Market Square catching a fabulous band on stage, or a busker on the corner; or you are scrambling to be first in line to buy tickets for one of the most popular shows at the festival, the energy is infectious. We can’t help being caught up in the fun and frenzy that is the Fringe Festival. A big salute to Chuck and Tori for all their hard work organizing the fest, and to our Fringe staff, the incredible volunteers, and of course the staff at MTC who support the festival in a myriad of ways. You are all brilliant! Have a wonderful Fringe everyone! Kelly Thornton Artistic Director, Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre

Chuck McEwen Executive Producer, Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival

Thank you to our Volunteers! A huge thanks to our dedicated volunteers who help make each year a success! Our volunteers play many roles on site and behind the scenes, from selling tickets, bartending and supervising Kids Fringe to keeping Old Market Square clean, answering questions and everything in between. We are grateful for your enthusiasm and commitment in donating countless hours to ensure an amazing festival experience for patrons and performers alike. Your generosity and effort has put Winnipeg on the map as North America’s second-largest Fringe Festival! We’d like to extend a special thank you to our long-serving volunteers who go above and beyond, and have been with us for the past 25 years or more!

Welcome to the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival.

Welcome to the 2022 Fringe Festival!

One of the biggest Fringe Festivals in North America returns in person this year. As always, it brings fans closer to the arts than ever. There is something for everyone, as the best performers from across Canada and beyond come together to showcase a diverse array of performances.

I am sure you are as excited as I am that the Fringe is once again including in-person events. You can be Fringey on your own couch with a virtual performance but nothing beats the energy and excitement of a live show. Winnipeg’s summer festivals are highlights of the year for so many people and after the last couple of years, I know folks are keen to get together, grab a beverage, and exchange reviews in Old Market Square.

Throughout the last two years, Canada’s artists have helped carry us through the pandemic. We are grateful for this perseverance and in return, we are giving back to artists by supporting the arts across the country, including this unique celebration. As Minister of Canadian Heritage, I would like to thank the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre as well as everyone else who helped bring this year’s event to life. Enjoy the shows! The Honourable Pablo Rodriguez Minister of Canadian Heritage, Government of Canada It is my pleasure to welcome everyone to the 2022 Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival.

There are hundreds of volunteers who work to make the Winnipeg Fringe Festival one of the best in the world. I want to thank each and every one of you. I also want to recognize all of the hard-working and talented performers and those who work behind the scenes — in the venues and on the free stage — who devote themselves to their art. On behalf of the City of Winnipeg, I want to wish everyone — performers, audiences, organizers and even the reviewers — a great Fringe. Warmly, Mayor Brian Bowman The City of Winnipeg

After a two-year hiatus due to COVID, the Fringe Festival is back in person. This festival hosts performing companies from around the world, showcasing comedy, drama, dance, music, improv and more, all presented on stages in and around Winnipeg’s historic Exchange District. The Fringe is that special place where many budding actors, directors and playwrights get their first chance to develop their artistic talents and skills in front of an audience. It is also a festival that welcomes experimental theatre from seasoned professionals, allowing Winnipeg audiences the chance to experience some very special performances. Everyone who has participated in the Fringe should be very proud because they have helped this festival become North America’s secondlargest Fringe and a model for changing the way we see theatre. Congratulations to the performers, staff, volunteers and sponsors for all the work they do to make this outstanding event possible. And thank you to all the Fringers over the years who have supported this festival. I wish everyone a wonderful week and a very successful festival. The Honourable Andrew Smith Minister of Sport, Culture and Heritage, Government of Manitoba

Like many of you, the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals (CAFF) has been through a lot since 2020, but also, like many of you, we are returning stronger and more focused than ever before. We have offered more support to our member festivals over the last two years and we are ready to return to in-person festivals, as well as digital offerings. CAFF has over 30 Fringe Festivals spanning Canada and the United States and we exist as an organization to unite, support, empower and strengthen our member festivals in order to cultivate and foster independent artistic exploration for artists and audiences across North America. CAFF members return 100% of the ticket price to the artists and all festival companies are selected either by lottery or on a first-come/first-served basis. We know many of you have missed being together in community and we are so looking forward to our festivals being able to offer that space again, to our artists and audiences alike. Some artists have been waiting since 2020 to perform and we are grateful to finally be able to give them that chance. Please come and support them in your hometown and beyond if you can. Share the love of the shows you see with friends and family and support your local Fringe Festival, because we now all know that the world is definitely a darker place without them. Thank you to all the artists who have shown great tenacity in this difficult time and to all the festival producers and teams who have hung in there to ensure their Fringe is still a platform for those artists. And THANK YOU to the audience who donated, supported, watched digital work and didn’t forget us. Happy Fringing, Lucy Eveleigh President, Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals

HOW TO

FRINGE

PHOTO BY LEIF NORMAN

SELECT YOUR SHOWS

Use this guide or go online to read show descriptions. Performers are responsible for coming up with classifications to accurately represent their shows. We highly encourage patrons to carefully read the descriptions, age recommendations, warnings and accessibility options to find a show that’s the best fit for you and your group.

FRINGE WITH RESPECT

Performers put in countless hours to put on a Fringe show, and it takes a lot of guts to share your art with an audience. Please respect how hard the performers work by following a few guidelines to ensure everyone has a positive experience: arrive early (latecomers aren’t permitted), refrain from taking photos or video, and remember to turn off all devices!

BUDGET-FRIENDLY FRINGING

Get more out of your Fringe experience without breaking the bank. NEW “At the Door” discount – $10 tickets for everyone 25 and under. Many companies also provide special discounts for students, seniors and others. You can save even more by taking advantage of the 2 for $12 performances – highlighted in yellow in this program and listed on our website.

JOIN THE CONVERSATION Local media outlets often publish reviews, but that isn’t the only way to find out what’s worth seeing. Word of mouth is a great way to hear rave reviews from fellow Fringers in Old Market Square, in the beer tent or online. Visit winnipegfringereviews.com to read the latest reviews from fellow patrons or submit your own.

Social media is also a great way to stay connected. Follow the official Winnipeg Fringe Facebook page, Twitter feed and Instagram account to get the latest news, share photos, participate in contests and hear what other patrons are recommending. Be sure to tag us and use the hashtag #WPGFRINGE. FACEBOOK.COM/WINNIPEGFRINGE @WINNIPEGFRINGE WINNIPEGFRINGE

WASHROOMS AND ATMS

We ask you to say thanks to the talented street performers and rocking local bands on the Bell MTS Outdoor Stage. Since access to Old Market Square is free, our performers rely on donations from generous audiences like you – so make sure to give back when they pass the hat at the end of their show!

The festival provides public washrooms at Old Market Square on King Street beside the Red River College Paterson GlobalFoods Institute. We encourage Fringers to be conscientious and use festival facilities in lieu of surrounding businesses. Since our beverage pavilions and food vendors only accept cash, ATMs are available inside the Info Tent in the Red River College Courtyard, and at the beer gardens.

Following the year that provided her first sexual encounter and the recognition that she wasn’t just attracted to men, Lea searched for answers online but came up empty-handed. So instead, she turned to a vlog camera to provide her thoughts and experiences, along with some unsolicited advice. Returning (hopefully) revamped and (definitely) unhinged from the 2019 Winnipeg Fringe (HHHH – Winnipeg Free Press), Marie Kozyra continues to offer vulnerability and laughter as she explores queer identity, dating mishaps and awkward physical intimacy.

Join siblings Quinn and Ash in the park around the corner. They’ll go from laughing to bickering in seconds; and you’ll be brought to tears in all the best and worst ways possible.

The Cause is a farce that follows five agents working for a rebellious organization plotting the assassination of a major political figure. Although each agent brings a unique set of skills to “The Cause,” they all share one important secret: each one is deep undercover, working for a different foreign interest to dismantle “The Cause” from within. As the mission draws nearer, the agents attempt to execute their plan without revealing their true intentions to one another.

The Harry S. RINTOUL Memorial AWARD The Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival has always been a welcoming and encouraging place for artists to share new work with audiences. Since 2002, the Manitoba Association of Playwrights (MAP), the centre for play development in our province, has presented an award for Best New Manitoba Play at the Winnipeg Fringe in memory and honour of Harry Rintoul, a leading Manitoba playwright and founding Artistic Director of Theatre Projects Manitoba. The award recipient is selected by a panel of theatre professionals during the festival and this year, with the support of the Manitoba Arts Council, there will be two awards: the winner will be presented with a $750 prize and an honorable mention will receive $250. In 2019, the last year of the Fringe prior to the pandemic, the award was presented by Brian Drader to Cuinn Joseph, Conner Joseph and Jacob Herd for The Cause. 2019 Rintoul Award recipients Cuinn Joseph, Conner Joseph and Jacob Herd with Brian Drader (left) of the Manitoba Association of Playwrights.
