Ottawa Fringe is celebrating a huge milestone June 16-26, 2022, and tickets are now on sale! Not only is it the first festival back in person since 2019, but it’s also the 25th anniversary. With 42 productions across 6 venues, plus other celebratory events, this festival will bring folks from Ottawa and beyond to Arts Court.
This quarter century festival brings acts of all genres and origins to Downtown Ottawa. A sci-fi inspired production from Brooklyn, NY, USA, a Magic Show from Adelaide, Australia, and stand-up comedy from Ottawa makes Fringe 25 the destination of choice this summer.
Here’s a sneak peak of what will be ‘touching down’ at the Ottawa Fringe this year. Check out the award-winning Dance company Pointe Tango (Montreal, Canada) as they take the stage in “Tango, to the Pointe”, with powerful lifts and fiery footwork; 2Hoots Productions (Los Angeles, USA), which tells the story of an American caught in Berlin during the Second World War; The hilarious Michael Lifshitz’s (Ottawa, Canada) “Speech from the Throne” uses humour to explore living with a Disability in Canada; “Unmatched” presented by Levity Theatre (Ottawa, Canada) explores modern dating in a world of smartphones and swipes. Additionally, Levity Theatre will be part of the pilot for Fringe ONTour, an Ontario-based Fringe tour through Ottawa, Hamilton, and Toronto. Looking for more?
