Ruth would kill for a family. Marion wants to find her true yogic nature. And Karma, well, she’d settle for a bit of sanity. What do an Appalachian midwife, a 1960s homemaker and a slowly unraveling film producer have in common? Nothing. Oh, and everything. * * * * * "Superbly performed. An absolute must-see show" -- Monday Magazine

Totem Figures: myths to live by

TJ Dawe has become a perennial favorite at the Victoria Fringe Festival, and for good reason. His one man shows shine and spin like a midway ride at a Fall Fair. But since much of his material is autobiographical, and, by his own admission, he's been spending much of his recent life on the Fringe circuit, perhaps it was inevitable that it would come to this: a Fringe show about putting on a Fringe show.

The Fred Wells Show - stikes gold

The Fred Wells Show chronicles the real life journey of Fred Marshall Wells to the Caribou Mountains during the depression and his sheer determination to search for gold.

BC's history is filled with lunatics and eccentrics, The Fred Wells Show celebrates one of them.

Boom – no bomb here

Had the Fringe Festival brochure mentioned the fact that Andrew Connor is one half of The Cody Rivers Show there probably would have been a larger audience for the opening night performance of his "solo fiction" play Boom.
