Fringe Shows and Attractions
Throughout the festival, a Courtyard is set up just outside of Arts Court to provide refreshment and a location for mingling with the artists.
Most Fringe performances are plays, and most last an hour or less, though since 2009, a limited number of 90 minute spots have been available. The content of the plays varies since acceptance to the festival is by lottery, and the shows are not juried in any way. Because Ottawa is a bilingual city, both English and French productions are presented at the Fringe, though a small number of productions in past years have been bilingual.
