Exploring Nanaimo Fringe Festival

🎧 Listen in your podcast app: Apple Podcasts / Google Play

Nanaimo’s 14th annual Fringe Festival is back this year, and for the first time, Fringe Festival will have a satellite venue on Gabriola Island, as well as expanded stages in The Black Rabbit Attic for adult performances.

Listen in as we discuss what makes the Fringe Festival possible with Artistic Director Tamara McCarthy. How do you run a festival with a randomized lineup?

After the break, we’ll get to know one of the performers at the Fringe Festival, Miss Divinity Rising, and hear how her show, Death’s Cabaret, was inspired by her life experiences in palliative care.

Fringe Festival will be taking place at The Black Rabbit, The Port Theatre, and on Gabriola Island, from August 8th to 18th.
