Teen Fringe is a new youth arts initiative for teens aged 12-17. The program was created by the Toronto Fringe in partnership with Scadding Court Community Centre and Edge of the Sky, the creative team from the award-winning Wexford Gleeks and the Fringe hits Summerland, The Fence, and Blood Ties.
The program's first year took place during the 2017 Toronto Fringe Festival and invited young artists to train with leading professionals in acting, singing and dancing. These young artists then formed a youth ensemble and took the stage at the closing night performance of Edge of the Sky’s 2017 Toronto Fringe Production, True North Mixtape.
The Teen Fringe program includes:
- 5 full days of training with leading theatre, music and dance professionals.
- Final performance as part of the free programming at the Fringe Patio.
- Free Rush Pass to all Toronto Fringe productions.
