As I write this, earlier in the week, we are yet to be bombarded with Fringe-related information.
I bet, by the time this event is posted, we’ll already be seeing reviews of plays (probably thanks to performances in other cities, and sneak previews), and everyone will be deciding which plays they’ll be checking out.
Yes, it’s time for the 29th annual Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival. This year’s theme: We’ll show you ours. 
Sexy.
The neat thing about living in Old Strathcona is that I don’t even need to pay much attention to when the Fringe actually starts. I know, when the roads start to close, tents and stages start getting set up, and the mini-donut (and other food vendors) start rolling up in front of the farmers’ market.
Thursday night kicks things off with the performer’s parade and a free-for-all where people will be pitching their plays in 5-minute blocks.
Fringe away!
Oh, you’re probably going to want to see what’s playing…
