Vancouver Fringe Festival
- Vancouver Fringe Festival
The Vancouver Fringe Festival is an annual alternative theater festival held in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada since 1985. This event is organized and sponsored by the First Vancouver Theatrespace Society, a volunteer, not-for-profit society. The festival is usually staged in September at a number of venues around the city. Like other fringe festivals, the Vancouver Fringe has instituted a "bring your own venue", in which performers can stage performances at places other than those provided by the festival organizers.
The Vancouver Fringe Festival adheres to the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals model. The most important tenets of this model are that productions are selected on a "first-come, first served" basis, with all box office proceeds retained by each production. In addition to donations, the festival society raises funds for itself by requiring attendees to pay a membership fee in addition to purchasing tickets for each show.
