Fringe lookahead: Sunday, June 23

by Ottawa Fringe

June 23, 2013

If today were the last day of Ottawa Fringe 2013, what shows would you see?

WHAT’S HOT

After full houses on opening night, Sappho… in 9 fragments and We Glow have begun a streak of sold-out performances. Both filled venues on their second night – and with the reviews coming in, are apt to do the same for a third time.

The Bike Trip brought crowds twice yesterday, having been performed once in the evening and again in the late night slot.  Emissions: A Climate Comedy had some serious buzz around their opening performance. Enough to nearly fill every last seat in the large Arts Court Theatre. Won’t be surprised to hear of a sold-out performance some night soon.

Some may have waited for the reviews to come in before taking a chance on My Second Smile.  Doesn’t seem to be the case any more as the show continues to climb the top-selling charts in terms of advance ticket sales.

After filling Studio Léonard-Beaulne for Saturday’s opening, The Bureau of Bat Shit Crazy looks well on its way to a second full house. We’ll know soon.

IN THE COURTYARD

Fringe open mic at 8:30pm.  Get down to the Courtyard even sooner to register.

GREGG’S GUESSES

Chesterfield. A central character to the play is… a couch. That’s enough to get me into Academic Hall for this show’s opening night (6:30pm). 2 for 1 deals at the door.

Having had the pleasure of catching 15 minutes of rehearsal time,  I have a good feeling about Innocent When You Dream. If not today, will certainly catch it tomorrow.
