Why The Fringe?

Fringing is one of the cheapest ways to self-produce!
The Festival covers a significant portion of the producing costs which can otherwise be $10,000+.
The Fringe takes a surcharge on each ticket to partially cover the cost of our box office systems, but you, the artist, take home 100% of the ticket profit.

A participant pays approximately $700 for their slot in the Saskatoon Fringe Festival. For this fee, you receive a performance venue with technical staff, box office management, front-of-house management, ticket sales service, and a share of our festival marketing. Participants are expected to cover artist fees, royalty fees, set/costume costs, show-specific marketing, and other production costs.

It’s Better Together:
Producing at the Fringe means joining a community. We all want to see the arts thrive, here you get to meet artists from across the globe and we all get to pool resources and build audience support together. The individuals around you bring a varied wealth of experience that can help you grow as an artist and producer. Every Fringe is an opportunity to find your next inspiration, mentor, or collaborator.

The Benefits Are Huge:

The Fringe gives you a safe place to dip your toes into self-producing or try out your wonderfully weird show that might not work everywhere. You will have a greater reach for your show due to our province-wide marketing campaigns, and you will receive hands-on support from our fabulous team who are here to help make you as successful as possible.
