If you weren’t done with Fringe, never fear – the festival has officially closed, but Pick of the Fringe continues this week.
Five shows that got people talking and earned rave reviews have been chosen for this year’s Pick of the Fringe week – and a couple of them have a Burnaby connection.
Among the shows is SELF-ish, onstage again Thursday, Sept. 20 at 8:45 p.m. It’s the story of thirtysomething Korean-Canadian Esther, played by Burnaby’s own Diana Bang, who examines herself in the aftermath of a recent tragedy and navigates her relationship with her family and other people in her life.
Bang is also back onstage in another pick of the Fringe: The Lady Show, which returns Sunday, Sept. 23 at 7:45 p.m. Bang stars alongside Morgan Brayton, Fatima Dhowre and Katie-Ellen Humphries in this show that features sketch, stand-up, monologue, satirical news and more while “putting the joy in feminist killjoy,” as its billing says.
Pick of the Fringe shows play at Performance Works on Granville Island. Tickets are $25. See www.vancouverfringe.com/pick-of-the-fringe/ for all the details and to buy tickets.
