Introducing Fringe Montreal!
The Montreal Fringe Festival is a festival that hosts a variety of live performances: theatre, dance, music, comedy, storytelling, spoken word, improv, and more! This annual festival takes place every June, with the lottery to determine next year’s roster taking place this November. There are over 800 performances and events, and last year they returned over $3.2M in box office revenue to artists.
Join Amy Blackmore, Executive and Artistic Director of MainLine Theatre, the company that produces the festival, in QWF’s next Lunch and Learn. In this one-and-a-half hour presentation, Amy will talk about what “fringing” is, how one can take part in the festival, and the benefits that joining gives to artists.
Everyone is invited: whether you’re already in the literary performance scene as a playwright, storyteller, or spoken word artist, or even if you’re mainly from the world of the written word curious about incorporating live performance to your work, you will definitely learn more about one of Montreal’s most popular summer arts festivals. Several QWF members have found success from the festival, from Nisha Coleman’s multi-nominated shows “Alright” and “Cornichon” to Kate Lavut’s touring play “A Little Bit Pregnant.” Who knows, you might join that roster one day!
