The 2011 Ottawa Fringe Festival is over!
But before we closed the Fringe for another year, Executive Producer Natalie Joy Quensel announced the winners of the 2011 Closing Night Awards. A committee of accomplished professionals and dedicated Fringe patrons from Ottawa’s arts community saw every show in the festival and chose the winners in the following categories.
Congratulations to all the individuals, companies, and artists! To see photographs from the closing night ceremony, click here!
