CAFF Touring
How does touring your show across the country sound? That's right...across the country! There are Fringe Festivals located across Canada and the United States and some companies turn Fringing into an adventure by taking their shows to numerous festivals in the summer. Feeling adventurous? Check out the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals (CAFF) list and see if you can put together a summer Fringe tour.
To make it easier for touring companies to get into all of the festivals they wish to participate in, CAFF has created a Touring Application category. The 2009 CAFF Touring Application lottery has already taken place. If you are interested in applying to this category for the 2010 CAFF tour, applications will be available in September 2009. For more information please e-mail us at general {at} fringetoronto.com or call (416) 966-1062.
