The Calgary Fringe Festival strives to support theatre artists of all disciplines by offering opportunities that offer a hand up and not a hand out. We strive to offer Calgarians an opportunity to build community through the theatrical arts. The Calgary Fringe seeks to achieve this end by offering the community inclusive and accessible arts programming that stress a broad-based, interdisciplinary approach to the arts, by fostering an environment of artistic freedom and expression. 100% unbiased. 100% unjured. 100% of all ticket revenue (excluding ticketing surcharges) goes back to the artist.
Fringes are uncensored, non-juried theatre festivals. The first Fringe started in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1947, and has grown into one of the biggest arts festivals in the world. The second-largest Fringe Festival is in Edmonton, Alberta , and draws nearly 800,000 attendees a year!
