This year’s Fringe Festival, just getting underway, promises to be revolutionary. Infact, it’s too revolutionary to stay south of the river.
The Avenue Theatre is hosting several Fringe productions this year, including …
Songs From a Revolution — A Musical Theatrical Celebration of A New Revolution
A live show to complement the Songs From the Ave CD. Where houses speak, and ghosts walk on Alberta Avenue, this show is a celebration of all things Norwood, a place we love, a place we live, and sometimes, a place we avoid. Songs From the Ave is storytelling at its best, through song, theatre, poetry, laughter and joy.
Where: The Avenue Theatre, 9030 118 Ave (free parking 9210-118 Ave)
When: August 14 at 8 pm; Aug 15 at 10 pm; Aug 16 at 2 pm; Aug 20 at 8 pm; Aug 21 at 10 pm; Aug 21 at 8 pm
Tickets: http://www.fringetheatreadventures.ca/tickets.php

Did you hear about Friday Night at The Carrot? Cora McLachlan played and IT WAS PACKED OUT!! Yes there were some 65 people there. One person said it took him 15 minutes to get from the door to the counter to pay his cover charge – people & chairs were everywhere!
Things are really picking up at the Carrot. It seems word is spreading and seats are filling as the sun and the birds are returning to the Ave.

Be part of the revolution by stopping in for a simple cup of coffee – and community. Leckie Olsen plays this Friday night at 7, pinhole photography and the arts-market take over on Saturday and open stage returns Saturday night at 7:30. What an exciting time to live on and around the Ave!
