f you've never been to the Vancouver International Fringe Festival then you've been missing out. It's a lot like regular theatre, but much less pretentious and much more anarchic. From today until September 14, 65 national and international productions are performed in total over 500 times. The festival is uncensored and unjuried, so it's a very mixed bag. You never know whether you're going to see the next smash hit or some uninspired bullshit a few friends put together after a night of heavy drinking. But taking your chances is a large part of the fun. Don't worry about wearing jeans; this is no upscale theatre experience, just a bunch of young playwrights trying to make it in The Biz. You can't find a more fun and rewarding theatre experience than the Fringe.
