Thanks to our many Fringe patrons who came out in droves to see the many fine Fringe theatre productions … and there were many of those! You are true Patrons and Supporters of the Arts, and you help fuel the artists to allow them to continue to share their wonderful talents with the people.
Thanks to our Fringe artists for putting on such fantastic shows … and for sharing your warmth, fun, and incredible talents with us Calgarians. I love you all and feel so grateful to have met such amazing individuals.
Thanks to our Fringe volunteers for being so nice, helpful, playful, and enthusiastic … and for making everyone’s Fringe experience memorable. We seriously could NOT have put on an event like this without your help, energy, and support. We couldn’t function without you!
Thanks to our Fringe board members and staff who worked countless months and hours in preparation for this event … all with big smiles, warm hugs and enthusiastic energy Your support throughout the year was appreciated more than you can possibly know!
Thanks to our Fringe venues for letting us invade your space for two weeks, and for allowing us to convert your spaces into makeshift theatres for our Fringe artists to perform in and for patrons to enjoy. You threw open your arms wide to welcome us in … with warmth and grace.
Thanks to our Fringe techs, who worked diligently and efficiently in converting these found venue spaces into an indoor theatre in which our Fringe artists could perform … without you, there would be no lights, no sound, no staging. No theatre!
Thanks to our Inglewood merchants and BRZ members for staying open special Fringe hours and offering special discounts so that more people could take in your wonderful stores, restaurants/cafes, and shops … we’ve heard nothing but wonderful compliments from everyone how nice you all were, how wonderful your establishments were, and what a beautiful and warm neighbourhood Inglewood is.
