Call for Submissions: Energetic Performers Needed to Showcase Their Talents at The Fringe Club, The Toronto Fringe Festival

The Toronto Fringe Festival is looking for energetic performers to showcase their talents at the central social and performance hub, the Fringe Club!

Through a dynamic partnership with The Randolph Centre for the Arts and Mirvish Enterprises and the generous support of Tourism Ontario, the Toronto Fringe Festival is moving its Fringe Club to Bathurst and Bloor with an expanded beer tent, food services, performance opportunities and free nightly entertainment. Adjacent to the main box office, the Fringe Club is the central hub for festival patrons, performers and curious passers-bys. Festival organizers are expecting over 30,000 people to pass through!

The Toronto Fringe Festival runs between June 30^th – July 11^th and will host over 150 theatre companies at over 30 venues featuring 1,200+ artists. The core concept is accessibility for both our artists and audiences. To ensure that artists can take risks and tell the stories that they want to tell, all Fringe shows are selected by lottery: we provide the infrastructure, you provide the art. The Toronto Fringe Festival is Toronto’s largest theatre festival and remains unjuried, unexpected, unforgettable!
