AGM Reminder and update!
Great news! Our guest speaker for the Annual General Meeting, Kahlil Ashanti has just been honoured with a Drama League Nomination for his recent Off-Broadway run of Basic Training (formerly known as Father’s Day, 2004 Fringe). Other nominees include James Gandolfini, Susan Sarandon and Rupert Everett! Way to go Kahlil! For more about Kahlil click here.
Tony Award winners Jeremy Irons, and Cynthia Nixon, will co-host the 75th Annual Drama League Awards Ceremony May 15. See here for more info.
As you may well know our festival is fuelled by hundreds of dedicated volunteers. Each year we celebrate their contributions at our Volunteer Appreciation Night after the festival. This year we are expanding our volunteer recognition to our AGM, to show them how important they are. While it is impossible to properly acknowledge all volunteers, these ones are near and dear to our hearts. John Mason, Regina Ogmundson and Robyn Dann will be honoured as Repeat Offenders as well as Amir Ofek and John Inthavixay as Rookies of the Year. Please join us to celebrate their outstanding contribution to the First Vancouver Theatrespace Society (your humble producers of the Fringe) at our AGM this coming Tuesday.
Below are further details for the AGM.
If you attended the Fringe last year and filled out a membership card or volunteered, you are a member.
Tuesday, April 28th, 7:30 pm-9:00 pm
At the Tyee Hall at the False Creek Community Centre
on Granville Island, 1318 Cartwright St.
All members welcome. $5 memberships can also be purchased at the door.
New Website
The Fringe has a new website. Come check it out! As Spring turns into Summer, this site will blossom with information about September’s shows and all the exciting details of the festival. There’s a “leave a comment” function so let us know what you think! As you can see, we grew quite fond of our mascot from last year and decided to keep him around for at least one more year. Stay tuned for our 25th Anniversary poster art launch later in the Spring.
Oh yes, and we’ve begun tweeting on twitter…
Don’t forget to vote in The May 12th Provincial Election. Please inform yourself about the arts before casting your ballot.
