Pick Your Target

Art by Dave Pruden

July 26th-It’s the last weekend of Fringe and it is sure to be crazy.

There seem to be a growing number of ‘Sold Out’ in advance shows, so check the Fringe website for up to date info, but remember that it doesn’t include the many more shows that sell out with walk up ticket sales. Great to see so many tickets being sold.

The Fabulous Jenny Awards!—Our yearly awards ceremony and Fringe wrap party will be Sunday night at Across the Board Game Cafe (211 Bannatyne). Doors will open at 9:30pm with the show starting at 10ish. Congrats to Improvision who have won our “Share a Table With Jenny” Instagram Contest. They will be the only people with a guaranteed table. For everyone else please remember that seating is going to be limited. If you have been nominated but will have left town before the awards show please let us know, as you need to be in town to collect the award. We normally require a company to be in the crowd to collect the award, but this year if there is someone you designate as a proxy, we will allow them to receive the award for you.
