Fort McMurray's First Ever Fringe Festival!

Support the First Ever Fort McMurray Fringe Festival!

We are thrilled to announce the launch of the first ever Fort McMurray Fringe Festival, organized by Theatre; Just Because (TJB)! To bring this exciting and transformative event to life, we need your support through our crowdfunding campaign.

What is a Fringe Festival?

The Fringe is an un-juried and uncensored international theatre festival. Participating companies and artists bring their fully-produced shows to the festival, retaining 100% of their box office revenue. This model empowers artists and ensures that their hard work directly benefits them. With ticket prices set at an affordable sliding scale of $10-$20 determined by the artist, the festival is accessible to the widest possible audience.

Why We Need Your Support

Organizing a fringe festival requires significant resources, including venue rentals, technical equipment, marketing, and artist support. Your contributions will directly help us cover these costs and ensure that the festival can be a sustainable and recurring event in Fort McMurray. By supporting our campaign, you are not only helping to launch an incredible festival but also investing in the cultural fabric of our community.

Join Us

Your support will help us create a vibrant, inclusive, and artistically rich festival that celebrates the diversity and talent of our local theatre community.
