100 Foreskins for my Hand in Marriage

Mature Content: Age 14+

What were the women of the Hebrew Bible doing while King David was shaking his junk for God? Singing Chappell Roan and questioning their very existence, probably. "100 Foreskins" is a bold retelling of everyone's favorite King from the perspective of his conquests--er, wives. Equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, Rainier Pearl-Styles blends physical comedy, ancient texts, and charming anecdotes to dissect society's hangups about women, religion, and relationships.

Mini Poetry Slam at Calgary Fringe!

Mature Content (Age 14+)

Join the Writers' Guild of Alberta for a special edition of the Calgary Poetry Slam at Calgary Fringe this summer! Hosted by Matt Miller.

Sign-up starts at 9:15pm.
Participants announced at 9:30pm.
Show starts at 10:00pm.

This is a mini version of the Calgary Poetry Slam. Six performers will be selected by random draw and will each read two poems (3 minutes max.) The poet with the highest combined score after two rounds will be the winner!

Cash prizes!
First place gets $100 || Second place gets $50

Show up at 9:15pm to put your name into a draw for the chance to compete!

SLAM FAQS:

What is a poetry slam?

Slam poetry is a type of competition where people read their poems without props, costumes, or music. After performing, they receive scores (0-10) from randomly selected judges. The judges can be anyone: they don’t even need to be poets! Scores are awarded based on how much each judge likes a poem. The purpose of this judging process is to make poetry participatory for everyone. Slam poetry doesn’t need to be a specific form of poetry.

What do I need to bring?

• $22 entrance fee (can purchase tickets ahead of time online, or pay at the door. Both cash and card payments accepted.)
• 2 poems, each less than 3 minutes.
• Friends! The bigger the audience, the better the show!

What are the rules?

• No props, no costumes, no animal acts, no nudity.
• No booing.
• Keep your poem under 3 minutes and 10 seconds or you'll lose points.

CONTENT WARNING: poetry slams often deal with hard topics such as domestic violence, sexual abuse, grief and death, social issues, etc.

Ticket sale proceeds goes to the Writers Guild of Alberta and the Calgary Poetry Slam.

Oh Mother!

Oh Mother! is a raw and intimate live art performance, Ogden selects an audience member to paint while unraveling the tangled roots of her artistic identity. The story follows Bekah’s rebellious quest to become an artist—much to the horror of her bold, no-nonsense Black mother, who thinks art is frivolous, (if not downright evil,) and of course, that the greatest calling for a woman is to be a… wait for it… mother! From cape dresses to homeschooling twelve kids, (yes twelve), this piece blends humor, heartbreak, and sharp insight into what it means to grow up with a calling that defies your family’s blueprint. At its core, it's a fierce, funny, and vulnerable reckoning with identity, and the quiet war between being seen and being chosen.

The Interview Play

From award-winning company Levity Theatre, The Interview Play is for the interns and the managers, for dreamers and for failures, and everyone who has suffered at the hands of a job interview.

Wuthering Frights: An Improvised Gothic Play

Gerneral Audience: Age 14+

Embark on the captivating odyssey of Wuthering Frights, a unique theatrical experience which catapults you into the heart of an improvised gothic play, where every twist and turn is a creation of the moment. Who knows what will be encountered within the shadowy realms of our narrative - vampires that stalk the night, lingering ghosts that whisper untold tales, eccentric family members confined to the secret attics. In this atmospheric setting, our characters confront monsters both literal and metaphorical, unveiling layers of passion, intrigue, and the perpetual struggle between light and shadow. The stormy night may yet reveal a glimmer of hope, a potential ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds, illuminating the hidden recesses of the mysterious tale.

You Work Where? Three Plays of Odd Occupations

General Audience: Age 12+

Brought to you by Acorn Cap Productions, “You Work Where?” is a witty off-beat drama-comedy that follows 3 surreal stories of odd jobs, and those who are curiously employed. We visit an existential Bed Bath & Beyond that may hold more than it first appears, an ill-thought-out capitalist plot to turn Antarctica into the world’s largest golf course, and a rudimentary door-to-door salesperson selling rain to an increasingly odd cast of characters. Comprised of “Bed Bath & the Great Beyond”, “Making Green”, and “Come Again Another Day”, this zany show was last seen as a staged reading at the Pumphouse Theatre.

Mini Poetry Slam at Calgary Fringe!

Mature Content (Age 14+)

Join the Writers' Guild of Alberta for a special edition of the Calgary Poetry Slam at Calgary Fringe this summer! Hosted by Matt Miller.

Sign-up starts at 9:15pm.
Participants announced at 9:30pm.
Show starts at 10:00pm.

This is a mini version of the Calgary Poetry Slam. Six performers will be selected by random draw and will each read two poems (3 minutes max.) The poet with the highest combined score after two rounds will be the winner!

Cash prizes!
First place gets $100 || Second place gets $50

Show up at 9:15pm to put your name into a draw for the chance to compete!

SLAM FAQS:

What is a poetry slam?

Slam poetry is a type of competition where people read their poems without props, costumes, or music. After performing, they receive scores (0-10) from randomly selected judges. The judges can be anyone: they don’t even need to be poets! Scores are awarded based on how much each judge likes a poem. The purpose of this judging process is to make poetry participatory for everyone. Slam poetry doesn’t need to be a specific form of poetry.

What do I need to bring?

• $22 entrance fee (can purchase tickets ahead of time online, or pay at the door. Both cash and card payments accepted.)
• 2 poems, each less than 3 minutes.
• Friends! The bigger the audience, the better the show!

What are the rules?

• No props, no costumes, no animal acts, no nudity.
• No booing.
• Keep your poem under 3 minutes and 10 seconds or you'll lose points.

CONTENT WARNING: poetry slams often deal with hard topics such as domestic violence, sexual abuse, grief and death, social issues, etc.

Ticket sale proceeds goes to the Writers Guild of Alberta and the Calgary Poetry Slam.

The story follows Bekah’s rebellious quest to become an artist—much to the horror of her bold, no-nonsense Black mother, who thinks art is frivolous, (if not downright evil,) and of course, that the greatest calling for a woman is to be a… wait for it… mother! From cape dresses to homeschooling twelve kids, (yes twelve), this piece blends humor, heartbreak, and sharp insight into what it means to grow up with a calling that defies your family’s blueprint. At its core, it's a fierce, funny, and vulnerable reckoning with identity, and the quiet war between being seen and being chosen.

Wuthering Frights: An Improvised Gothic Play

Gerneral Audience: Age 14+

Embark on the captivating odyssey of Wuthering Frights, a unique theatrical experience which catapults you into the heart of an improvised gothic play, where every twist and turn is a creation of the moment. Who knows what will be encountered within the shadowy realms of our narrative - vampires that stalk the night, lingering ghosts that whisper untold tales, eccentric family members confined to the secret attics. In this atmospheric setting, our characters confront monsters both literal and metaphorical, unveiling layers of passion, intrigue, and the perpetual struggle between light and shadow. The stormy night may yet reveal a glimmer of hope, a potential ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds, illuminating the hidden recesses of the mysterious tale.

You Work Where? Three Plays of Odd Occupations

General Audience: Age 12+

Brought to you by Acorn Cap Productions, “You Work Where?” is a witty off-beat drama-comedy that follows 3 surreal stories of odd jobs, and those who are curiously employed. We visit an existential Bed Bath & Beyond that may hold more than it first appears, an ill-thought-out capitalist plot to turn Antarctica into the world’s largest golf course, and a rudimentary door-to-door salesperson selling rain to an increasingly odd cast of characters. Comprised of “Bed Bath & the Great Beyond”, “Making Green”, and “Come Again Another Day”, this zany show was last seen as a staged reading at the Pumphouse Theatre.
