performers coming from Newfoundland to British
Columbia, New York to San Francisco, and
England to Australia. There are comedies,
dramas, musical theatre and children’s shows
ranging from one man plays to ensemble
casts. “The Fringe always has brought
the best in edgy, experimental theatre,”
Wyma says. “This year’s roster of plays
will continue that tradition.”
Drawing 40,000 plus people to
Broadway Avenue over the 10 day
festival, Wyma says the street festival
also will be much improved. “We’ve
seen a 100 per cent increase in food
vendors this year. As a result, we’re
planning a dedicated food market on
11th Street. To go with that, we’ll have
a dining tent to increase the enjoyment of
people who eat at the Fringe.”

Buy a Button, Ride for free
Can’t find parking in the Broadway Area? Take the bus
right to the PotashCorp Fringe Theatre Festival. It only
costs a dollar! Purchase a retro Fringe button from the
Fringe Box office for just $1. Wear it anytime you ride
a bus to the Fringe and you won’t pay another cent. At
the same time you get to look snazzy with your vintage
keepsake button. This program is made possible by
Saskatoon Transit.
Secure bike storage
Bike traffic at the PotashCorp Fringe is increasing, and
we couldn’t be happier! As part of our green initiative,
The Fringe provides a free Bike Valet service in front
of Victoria School. Last year saw nearly 1000 bikes
securely parked over the 10-day festival. This service
is provided by Eco Friendly Saskatoon and Saskatoon
Cycles.
Recycling
The PotashCorp Fringe is proud to announce a new pilot
program that includes recycling and waste reduction.
Watch for blue bins set up along the street for recycling
and added garbage bins to keep Broadway looking
beautiful. This initiative is part of a new partnership
with All Green Recycling, a division of Loraas Disposal
Limited.
In the Broadway District
The PotashCorp Fringe Festival is set in Saskatoon’s
eclectic hub of business, culture and community living
- Broadway Avenue. Broadway provides a backdrop
unlike any other with one of a kind shops, local
businesses, and a thriving and welcoming community.
Join us in the Broadway district for10 days of
exceptional entertainment.
