Fringe Festival On Campus Through July 28

FringelogoUWinnipeg’s Department of Theatre and Film is pleased to announce that the Asper Centre for Theatre and Film is once again involved in the Winnipeg Fringe Festival as a satellite venue. Designated Fringe Venue 13, we are hosting three separate companies from Vancouver, Saskatoon and Winnipeg and all have at least a 4 star rating from both the CBC and the Winnipeg Free Press.

Don’t miss these shows as we head into the final days of the festival!

Matchstick: Matchstick lives in an Undesirable Country. She falls in love with a foreigner who offers a new life but she must start from the beginning with a stranger. A historical not-very-fairytale folk musical based on the life of the wife of one of the most hated men in the world.
