Greetings. We come in peace. Na-Nu Na-Nu. Why go to the Fringe and Beyond? Because, as any good Fringe explorer can tell you, that’s what it’s all about: pushing the envelope and putting exciting original theatre front and centre where new worlds are just waiting to be discovered.

Over the past 23 years, the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival has been the launching pad for thousands of independent theatre artists and companies. Our audiences have been immensely supportive of these hard-working artists by attending their productions, giving them the opportunity to share their stories and encouraging them to create innovative theatre.

This year, Fringe explorers will have a record 155 theatrical planets to discover, so this handy Fringer’s Guide to the Galaxy will be essential to your successful journey. In order to make it easier to visit these theatrical worlds at warp speed, be sure to check out the festival’s website at www.winnipegfringe.com, where we’ll have lots of fun new technologies you can try out.

There are new developments at the Mother Ship (a.k.a. Old Market Square) again this year, and we’re excited about using the CUBE (the brand new stage) to host all of our outdoor performers and musicians. We’ve moved our Kids Fringe activity centre and our merchant vendors to the planets Albert and Arthur right across from the park, where there will also be two new busker circles to entertain you. If you need to rest up for future adventures, be sure to beam up to the Mother Ship for some food, a cool beverage and amazing entertainment for galactic adventurers of all ages.

For 23 years, volunteers have made the Winnipeg Fringe Festival an event that’s out of this world!

We have more than 800 volunteers to thank — they are skilled in the ways of the Force, and their enthusiasm defies gravity! We also give special thanks to the volunteers of the month who eclipsed our expectations and completed 10 or more shifts in 2009:

So buckle up, put on your helmet, drop your visor and get ready to blast off to the Fringe and Beyond.

Fringe long and prosper. And may the Fringe be with you!

The Harry S. Rintoul Memorial Award for Best New Manitoban Play at the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival In 2002, the Manitoba Association of Playwrights (MAP), the centre for playwriting in Manitoba, established an award to honour the memory of one of its members, Harry Rintoul, who passed away suddenly in January of that year. Harry was a leading playwright and the founding Artistic Director of Theatre Projects Manitoba, and this award celebrates what Harry felt most passionately about: new playwriting in the community and the production of this work. Harry originally made his mark at the first Fringe with refugees.

Last year, the Harry S. Rintoul Memorial Award was presented to Joseph Aragon for his play Bloodless: The Trial of Burke and Hare. Past winners are Daniel Thau-Eleff for Remember the Night in 2008; Ross McMillan for The Ingrates in 2007; Stefanie Wiens for Max and Mirabelle in 2006; Jason Neufeld for The Rise and Fall of Bloody Redemption in 2005; Daniel Thau-Eleff for THREE RING CIRCUS: Israel, the Palestinians and My Jewish Identity in 2004; Joseph Aragon for The Unlikely Sainthood of Madeline McKay in 2003; and Kevin Klassen for Aftertaste in 2002.

Entries are juried by theatre professionals during the festival. The winner will receive $500 from MAP and a 2011 Superpass donated by the Fringe. The award will be presented on the Outdoor Stage on closing night of the festival.

MAP promotes and develops plays and playwrights in Manitoba. Since 1979, the organization has worked on new plays with theatres and individuals; it offers numerous programs to assist playwrights in dramaturgy, as well as reading and workshopping plays. If you write plays, MAP is the place to offer assistance in your development as an artist.

Any donations to MAP in honour of the Rintoul Award are gratefully received. A tax receipt will be issued for gifts of $10 and more.

It really is up to the audience. Here’s how the Best of Fest works: On the last day of the festival, two spots remain open at each of the regular venues, and one at the Kids Venue. The two companies at each venue with the highest ticket sales and popular momentum are awarded an additional show. So, you get to see your favourite act again, and the performers get one more opportunity to rock your planet. It’s a win-win situation!

Advance tickets for Best of Fest go on sale after the top-selling shows are announced on Wednesday, July 21. All Best of Fest tickets will be available in advance, so make sure to get yours before they’re all gone! A list of the winning companies will be posted on the website as well as at various locations around the festival site. Tickets to all Best of Fest shows are $10.

For more information, call 9-4-FRINGE, visit the Info Tent or Fringe Central (174 Market Avenue), and we’re always available in cyberspace at www.winnipegfringe.com.

The Fringe in-flight crew (a.k.a. performers) work hard to keep a smile on your face. They go to the Fringe and Beyond to entertain by singing, playing an instrument, dancing, flying high in the air and acting. But sometimes there are shows that stand out from the rest, and we want you to have a chance to reward them with the title Best of Fest.

The Best of Fest is a fundraiser with 50% of revenue going to the Fringe Festival and 50% going to the performing companies.

Make your voice heard and tell anyone who will listen which shows are must-sees. That way, you help out the performers and give yourself another chance to buckle in for a fantastic ride.

official greetings

Welcome to the 2010 Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival.

Our Government understands the importance of arts and culture to our society, our identity, and our economy. Festivals bring arts into Canadian communities, where they can be enjoyed by the young and the young-at-heart. The Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival has been presenting theatre, music, poetry, and improvisation on the streets of Winnipeg for 23 years.

On behalf of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Government of Canada, I would like to commend the organizers and volunteers for organizing an event that delights audiences eager for new discoveries. I would also like to thank the performers who have come from all over the world for contributing to Winnipeg’s cultural landscape.

James Moore Minister of canadian heritage and official languages

Welcome to Manitoba, home of the 2010 Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival.

This annual theatrical showcase brings new energy to our historic Exchange District as thousands participate in the time-honoured art of “fringing.”

The Fringe Festival has earned a strong reputation for its creativity, irreverence and ability to challenge common perceptions about the range of theatre. Visitors and locals will be treated to a wide variety of performances that amuse, inspire, educate and confound – but always entertain.

Congratulations to the performers, organizers, volunteers, sponsors and theatre fans who make this extraordinary event an annual success. Our government is proud to support this spirited celebration of the wonderful world of theatre.

Our renowned volunteerism and hospitality will be on full display during the festival. We hope you enjoy the view.

Flor Marcelino Minister of Manitoba Culture, Heritage and Tourism

As Mayor of Winnipeg, I am delighted to extend greetings to everyone participating in the 23rd annual Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival.

The Fringe Festival continues to be one of our city’s most popular and entertaining summer festivals, and it is enjoyed by thousands of visitors each year.

I wish to thank all of the volunteers and participants who contribute their time and talent year after year. Your hard work and dedication ensures the Fringe Festival is a continued success in our vibrant arts and culture city.

For those visiting Winnipeg, I hope you take the time to experience the warm hospitality that Winnipeg offers and explore some of our city’s many attractions. You will find Winnipeg is a vibrant city offering a host of activities that I am sure you will enjoy. We truly have something for everyone.

On behalf of the citizens of Winnipeg and my colleagues on City Council, I wish the Winnipeg Fringe Festival much success again in 2010.

Best Wishes,

Sam Katz Mayor of Winnipeg

Greetings, Fringelings! As Commander in Chief of the USS Exchange District, I am pleased to welcome you to the 23rd annual Winnipeg Fringe Festival. Prepare to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and civilizations and to boldly go where hundreds of thousands have gone before.

The force is strong with this year’s lineup. With over 1,000 shows for you to make contact with, it should be easy to get out of your antimatter containment module and beam yourself up to the Exchange District.

Why not tell ground control you’ll be lost in space for a while, grab your favourite Cylon, set your phaser to stun and make a day of it? The CUBE at Old Market Square is the Festival’s Mother Ship, so be sure to check out as many space jams as you can. With the ongoing, and out-of-this-world, Kids Fringe, there should be something for every type of life form to cling on to. Remember, the Fringe is only on for two weeks, so, unless you plan on causing a rip in the time-space continuum, you’d better soak it up while you can. With intergalactic star performers beaming brighter than Alpha Centauri, I assure you, this year’s Fringe will be a worthwhile enterprise.

On behalf of myself and my crew, I would like to extend peaceful wishes to all of the hard-working Wookiees, Romulans, Borgs and Borgettes who have engaged to work at warp speed to make this event what it is. As they say on Kronos, Hoch ‘ebmey tIjon.

Fringe Long & Prosper,

Brian Timmerman executive director, exchange district biz

The Fringer’s Guide to the Galaxy

To be in the know when it comes to what is happening at Fringe and Beyond, the Fringe program will let you know when and where all the great shows are playing, how to enter contests, as well as special events you won’t want to miss!

Make sure to refer to your Fringer’s Guide to the Galaxy before every visit to Fringe and Beyond, and you’re guaranteed to have a great time.

Enter the matrix

Go to Fringe and Beyond by tailoring the festival to suit you. It all starts with choosing a play.

Sometimes an invisible forcefield pulls you toward a show, but other times, a familiar performer, an intriguing play title or a great time slot will inspire you to attend. Have fun with it. Pick what you like while also trying something different. Make sure to check your Fringer’s Guide to the Galaxy for show descriptions* and the master schedule to help you choose the plays that are best for you. Last-minute program changes are posted on www.winnipegfringe.com, at the Info Tent in Old Market Square (a.k.a. the Mother Ship) and are also available at Fringe Central (174 Market Avenue). * Show descriptions, warnings and audience recommendations are provided by the performing companies.

Buy a ticket

There is no entry to the Fringe universe without a ticket. For ease of intergalactic travel, tickets and passe s are available in advance. Of course, ticke ts can be purchased at the door, but the early bird gets the wormhole! For details on how to purchase tickets, see the next page.

Suit up for adventure

No two experiences are alike in the parallel universe of the Fringe.

Some shows will have you feeling like you are living in warp speed, while others will feel like suspended animation. But when you step into the matrix that is Fringe and Beyond, you are guaranteed to be entertained. Take a chan ce and try something new.

Be part of the charged atmosphere that pervades the Outdoor Site. Check out the goods for sale; take in the live, out-o fthis-world entertainment; and refuel with refreshments available at the Mother Ship.

Communications implant

A reminder for all those ready to embark into the Fringe and Beyond: No latecomers admitted. No refunds.

No exchanges. Mission Control wants to make it easy for you to keep on schedule by providing official Fringe time — available at the Info Tent or on any MTS cell phone. Make sure the journey does not begin without you.

6

Pass the helmet

The virtual reality is that buskers are extremely skilled entertainers, but because they exist in a parallel universe to other performers, they do not always get the financial attention they deserve. So, after enjoying the outdoor entertainment, please show your appreciation for these performers by tossing a toonie — or any other denomination — into the helmet. May the Fringe be with you!

recently beamed aboard Be sure to check out the festival’s cyber presence at www.winnipefringe.com, where we’ll have lots of fun new technologies you can use to enhance your intergalactic journey, such as videos, Twitter, Facebook, photos and the Fringe Blog.

We are continuously probing the farthest reaches of our imaginations to bring new and exciting changes to the Fringe Festival. As you prepare for blast off into the hyperspace of Fringe and Beyond, read below to find out what is new in our galaxy.

Growing Orbit The Fringe Festival is going forth and expanding. Despite construction all around the Mother Ship (a.k.a. Old Market Square), the Fringe has found a way to not only coexist with drop shafts and pilings, but has flourished.

Both Albert and Arthur streets between Bannatyne and McDermot will be closed to traffic during the festival, adding a street festival feel to the Fringe and creating a more open atmosphere. Two extra busker circles have been added, so these renegade performers now have space on both streets to wow the Fringing masses. Entertainment is at every turn and is utterly unavoidable.

The Vendor Court has moved to Albert and Arthur streets to make way for industrialization, which allows room for Fringers to check out all the great clothing, jewellery, artwork and books, or maybe even get a henna tattoo.

The free Kids Fringe activity centre, which includes discovery tent, crafts area, face painting, balloons, workshops, special guests and more, has moved to its new location on Arthur Street. Command Centre has posted signs to direct parents and kids to a childfriendly dimension.

We’re very excited about the new street festival feel, and we know it will be a great addition to the Fringe and the Exchange District.

The CUBE has landed For last year’s festival, we had a brand new event lawn at the Mother Ship, and this year, we are very energized to see our buskers, bands and entertainers use the new outof-this-world stage — the CUBE. With its interesting shape and retractable aluminum veil curtain, the CUBE definitely will be an exciting new attraction for the Exchange District and Fringers.

Tip the Fringe The Fringe Festival is a great way to spend a summer day, and your support is truly appreciated. If you would like to give your festival a boost, then please Tip the Fringe! You can get your souvenir 2010 Fringe Fan Collector’s Button (all the cool kids have them!) at any venue or the Info Tent at the Mother Ship for just a toonie.

And while you’re at the Info Tent (or when you stop by Fringe Central at 174 Market Avenue), pick up some of the intergalactic Fringe and Beyond must-have souvenirs! We’ve got water bottles, hats, t-shirts, travel mugs, tote bags and more. We’d be over the moon to see you decked out in Fringewear. There’s something for everyone, even Kids Fringe shirts for our youngest Fringers.

Digital reality Fringe and Beyond is going to last for infinity … digitally. This year, Fringe explorers will have a record 155 theatrical planets to discover, along with all of our outdoor performers, Kids Fringe activities and other special events.

Above: the 2010 Fringe Fan Collector’s Button

friends of the fringe As the Fringe Festival grows at the speed of light, we need to make sure our expenses don’t eclipse revenues. The costs of running the Fringe Festival aren’t skyrocketing, but they do increase every year. And since 100% of ticket revenue goes to our talented performers (and deservedly so), we need help with the funding for venues, tents, lights and sound. Please consider becoming a Friend of the Fringe by making a donation. That way, the Fringe can live long and prosper. Thank you!

Chango A group that has a passion for West African drumming and culture, Chango has studied many of the traditional Mande rhythms over the years. They put on a strong performance that will get everyone within earshot dancing.

Paradigm Brass Paradigm Brass is a new model of brass ensemble, presenting a hybrid of styles designed to create a distinct sound and reach a broader range of listeners.

From church stages to nightclub scenes, Paradigm brings Bach to the bars and groove to the concert halls.

Jazz on a String Marionettes Joe Jazz and Jessica come to life under the skilled hands of Estee.

Jessica sprawls seductively over a tiny piano or slinks across the stage, belting out an Ella Fitzgerald tune with ease.

When it’s Joe’s turn to perform, he sits on the piano bench and tickles the ivories while he sways and bobs to the music.

By the time they are done, it is hard to tell where Joe and Jessica end and Estee begins.

Fubuki Daiko Audiences everywhere are energized by Fubuki Daiko’s (Blizzard Drums) highpowered style of Japanese drumming.

The group’s North American roots push the envelope of tradition to create a truly eclectic experience that is part martial arts, part meditation and all rhythm.

Chris without the Hat This show offers a mixture of physical comedy and bust-a-gut-laugh-yourselfridiculous humour. There is also plenty of audience interaction and opportunities for the volunteers to be “part of the show.”

Ingrid Gatin Ingrid Gatin makes eclectic beautiful.

Reaching the top 20 on Earshot Charts across Canada, Winnipeg’s own Ingrid Gatin is getting ready to take Canada by storm. With accordion, piano, vocals, handclaps, footstomps and tambourine, Ingrid has crafted her own eclectic and beautiful sound in the indie/roots music genre. Wherever Ingrid goes, she is dancing, singing, playing instruments and banging on the floors and walls. You can almost hear her coming your way.

Take a quantum leap into a parallel universe for the last day of Fringe and Beyond. Go where you have been before because you loved it! Not only will Best of Fest winners perform one last time, one genetically superb Manitoba playwright will be presented with the Harry S. Rintoul Award on the MTS Outdoor Stage.

Ken & Tim will have you laughing all the way back to this planet.

Saturday, July 24

11:00 pm

Zach Raizman If you’re looking for a high-energy, interactive show, then Zach Raizman is your guy. He has an entertaining repertoire of original pop rock songs that will appeal particularly to the tweens and teens.

DJ Beekeeni DJ Beekeeni (a.k.a. Eve of the act Vav Jungle) mixes music from all eras, including her own, along with different styles for an adult audience. She is also known as the singing DJ and will sing to her own tunes, play keyboards and use effects, along with dancers, to make it wild and danceable for a large crowd.

Pass the Helmet The virtual reality is that buskers are extremely skilled entertainers, but because they exist in a parallel universe to other performers, they do not always get the financial attention they deserve. So, after enjoying the outdoor entertainment, please show your appreciation for these performers by tossing a toonie — or any other denomination — into the helmet.

May the Fringe be with you!

WARNING

Dramatic and bold: Resonator Theatrical steps forward with their violent and dark reinvention of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. With modern horror at its core, combined with the sparse backdrop of the Bard’s harrowingly beautiful language, the play is turned inside out and sets a great tone on stage.

Shakespeare’s words: a new plot.

An infinite number of choices and circumstances can affect the outcome of one night, but change one, and the night can change completely. Each (mostly) unscripted performance will show you how, with a mix of alcohol, secrets and scandals.

Lone Star Laurels

Betty

Los Angeles, CA

by Shelby Bond This is the story of Betty Hutton, who was, in the 1950s, “Paramount Studio’s number one star.” She is remembered most for the lead in Annie Get Your Gun. Bob Hope called her, “A vitamin pill with legs.”

However, she fell suddenly from glory, and was found, years later, scrubbing floors in a monastery.

With story and song, Betty will show you why the whole world loved her.

Scopophobia

Deoxyribonucleic Acid

Winnipeg, MB

by Dennis Kelly

When forced to the edge, the human mind is portentous. Why do we do the things we do? Ten young people make one horrible mistake, but it’s their individual methods of damage control that finally break them. The accident slowly reveals their true nature and evokes the question: what are we, as humans, truly capable of?

WINNIPEG JEWISH THEATRE

Lenin’s Embalmers CANADIAN PREMIERE

WRITTEN BY VERN THIESSEN, Governor General Award winner in Drama October 14-24, 2010 at The Berney Theatre A co-production with the Harold Green Jewish Theatre Company (Toronto)

CALL 477-747 8 TO SU

LENIN’S EMBALMERS follows the journeys of Boris Zbarsky and Vladimir Vorobiov, two chemists charged with embalming the Communist leader Vladimir Lenin. But Boris and Vlad have some problems: Lenin has been dead for two months; no scientist has embalmed a person in perpetuity; they are both Jewish; they hate each other and if they fail, they’ll be killed.

WORLD PREMIERE ADAPTED BY JULIE TEPPERMAN Based on the play by August Strindberg PART OF MTC’S MASTER PLAYWRIGHT FESTIVAL: STRINDBERGFEST January 27 – February 6, 2011 at The Berney Theatre Julie Tepperman is one of Canada’s most promising young playwrights.

The author of the critically-acclaimed and sold-out sensation Yichud (Seclusion) this past February in Toronto, Julie brings a fresh eye, sharp wit, and a female perspective to her adaptation. THE FATHER is Strindberg’s famous play about a man feuding with his wife over how to raise their daughter. WJT’s past entries in MTC’s Master Playwright’s Festivals have played to sold out houses and critical acclaim.

THREE NEW PLAYS! TWO WINNIPEG PLAYWRIGHTS! ONE INCREDIBLE SEASON!
