The ON THE EDGE Fringe Festival is back for its sixth year and will once again be host to a wide variety of exciting shows from August 13 - 17, 2019. This landmark year could be their best yet with 10 unique productions performing daily. The Festival is thrilled to once again be at the Capitol Centre, in the heart of
downtown North Bay, with performances scheduled in the WKP Kennedy Gallery, the Galaxy Circle Lounge, the Capitol Centre’s Basement, and the Betty Speers Theatre. The Capitol Centre’s Martini Lounge will also be transformed into an eclectic “Fringe-tini Lounge” where patrons can discuss their favourite shows while enjoying a hot or cold beverage and a snack before catching the next show.
The Festival’s line-up has recently been released on the organization’s website (www.fringenorth.com) along with this year’s schedule. The 10 productions participating in the 2019 Fringe are: Into the Tango choreographed by Alexander Richardson, presented by PointeTango; Artemisia by Stephanie Kast; Pigeon! by Garrett M. Ryan, presented by Bird on Stage Productions; House in Virginia by Keegan MacNeil; Tornado Troubles by Rory Gardiner; 80s Kids Will Understand presented by The Ringos; 100 Million Leagues Under the Sea by Garrett M.

This year, Fringe is partnering with The Moose’s Cookhouse every night to host an after the fringe gathering. They are also holding the Fringe Awards ceremony in the Fringe-tini Lounge at 9:30 p.m. and a closing night party on Saturday night at 10 p.m. Tickets to the performances range from $10 - $15 and may be purchased through the Capitol Centre Box Office or at the door of each venue.
