Over 450 performances by more than 60 different groups for 11 days make the Fringe, BC's most diverse source of entertainment.

Just a reminder that I'd LOVE to have anyone and everyone in my audience for "So Kiss Me Already, Herschel Gertz!" at Festival House Theatre -- it's a show about adolescence, angst and Jewish summer camp, but you DON'T have to be adolescent, Jewish OR a summer camper to enjoy the show. :-) My first performance is TONIGHT -- Thursday, 9/6 at 11:30 pm...and if tonight doesn't work, there are five more performances to choose from.
WHERE: Playwright Theatre Centre Festival House on Granville Island 1398 Cartwright Street
