Encore Festival 2017

The Encore Festival was thrilled to present 4 of the best shows from the 2017 Hamilton Fringe Festival at the Staircase Theatre on August 5 and 6.

These four productions all received positive reviews from critics along with wonderful audience feedback during the 2017 Hamilton Fringe Festival.

The Encore Festival was pleased to offer each of them a final “encore” performance.

Our line-up was as follows:

The Elephant Girls – Saturday, Aug 5 at 7 pm.

Hamilton Fringe 2017 Critic's Choice

Creator: Margo MacDonald   Director: Mary Ellis

Clever, devious and daring, they stole from the rich and gave to themselves. The riveting story of Britain’s most notorious all-female gang is told by Maggie Hale, their suit-wearing, bloody-knuckled, girl-chasing “enforcer.” You won’t be able to look away, but just how much do you want to hear?

This Is Not A Musical: The Musical! – Saturday, Aug 5 at 9 pm.

 Hamilton Fringe 2017 Best of Venue and Hamilton Fringe 2017 Best of Fringe

 Creator/Director: Maxie Liberman

The entire town of Alderwollop can’t stop bursting into song and no one knows why. Could it be an illness? Or a hoax? Or maybe it’s that strange girl who walks around town looking like a witch. This is a mystery. This is a comedy. This is a love story. This is Not a Musical …The Musical!

Your Own Sons – Sunday, Aug 6 at 6 pm.

VIEW Magazine Reviewer's Pick 

 Playwright: Stephen Near   Director: Aaron Joel Craig

Pauline’s son has left Canada to join ISIS. Desperate to understand, she sets out on a journey of her own to confront his fate. Pursued by the government and the media, her path takes her to the heart of homegrown radicalization and the fall-out of her son’s actions. From the creators of the acclaimed Finding Mr. Right comes a new drama tackling the politics of faith and fear and the collision between love and loss.

The Lost Years – Sunday, Aug 6 at 8 pm.

Hamilton Fringe 2017 Best of Bring Your Own Venues

Creator/Writer: Peter Gruner   Director: Al French

Travel through The Lost Years… Having kids is crazy! You start out young and suddenly “wake up” old. Ben and Carly start off happy and naïve, but where will they be after their journey through parenthood? The Lost Years is the time spent raising children. For parents, parents-to-be, children or anyone in a long term relationship. A comedy from the creators of Minced, Laund-o-Mat at the End of the World, and Mommy’s Mask. 

Thanks to our wonderful audiences for joining us at The Encore Festival.

Produced by Baby Gumm Productions.
