PREVIEW: THE SAINT LUKE’S MISSION HOSTS 3 NEW SHOWS AT HAMILTON FRINGE
Hiccup Productions, Reactor Theatre and Squirrel and Nut Productions are performing at this year’s Hamilton Fringe Festival in a historic venue on John Street North: The Saint Luke’s Mission church.
I had the pleasure of a virtual interview with David Widder-Varhegyi, the Creative Director of Squirrel and Nut Productions, Renata Ona, founder of Hiccup Productions and Tyler Brent from Reactor Theatre and together we discuss the 3 shows performing, how to prepare for Fringe itself and why supporting Bring Your Own/Site Specific venues during the festival gives our city a boost every year, allowing audiences to check out new spaces and appreciate the history behind them.
