the best time of the year
So the Fringe opening party is tonight at Park des Ameriques at the corner of Rachel & St-Laurent. I can’t go cause I’m too busy talking on the phone and drinking coffee like this serene oriental squeeze toy, but you totally should.
I haven’t really heard any buzz about which plays to catch yet, but some non-theatre highlights this year include a Never Surrender fan appreciation show on the 11th, a premiere screening of the fringe movie on the 12th, various performances by the New Humourists and an outdoor concert by Wolf Parade on the 18th. These are all to be held at fringe central Parc des Ameriques, and did I mention they are all free! Wow!
And, returning from last year, is the 13th hour, every night during the fest at 1am at the Bayou (12 Rachel Ouest) where you can catch up with the latest Fringe gossip and get drunk with all the actors and sexy volunteers.
The Fringe takes over the better half of the plateau til the 19th.
