WHAT IS THE FRINGE?

The Calgary Fringe is a celebration of Theatre for Everyone. The Fringe strives to break down traditional boundaries and encourage open dialogue between audiences and artists by presenting un-juried, uncensored theatre in an accessible and informal environment.

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS TO BE A VOLUNTEER?

An awesome attitude and flexibility are always valuable assets! Each year, Fringe volunteers take on a variety of roles from helping set up venues, to serving drinks at the Fringe Bar, selling tickets, ushering, and much more. We have a very small number of permanent staff so the Fringe couldn’t exist without volunteers like you!

As a volunteer, you are expected to arrive for your shifts on time, dressed appropriately, ready to work, with a ‘can do!’ spirit. We expect volunteers to treat each other, patrons, and staff in the same manner as they themselves would want to be treated - with a smile and courteous attitude at all times.

Volunteers must be 16 years or older to work independently. Anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian and work as a team.

Volunteers must also attend an orientation training session prior to their first scheduled shift.

WHAT VOLUNTEERS CAN EXPECT FROM US ..

Free shows!

You will receive a show voucher for every minimum 4 hour shift you volunteer. One shift = one voucher, good for one show at the Calgary Fringe. If you work 25+ hours for the Calgary Fringe, you will get an All Access Pass.

Free stuff!

We provide snacks and beverages while on shift, as well as a Fringe T-Shirt and Fringe Button to commemorate your time at Fringe.

A fun, relaxed, supportive environment!

We strive to make your time with us as easy and enjoyable as possible. We love and value you!
