Fringe World Festival 2021 is coming to the City of Gosnells, with eight separate shows scheduled at the Don Russell Performing Arts Centre.
From hilarious magic shows for children and adults, to ABBA and Elvis tribute shows, a coming-of-age story, a murder mystery, a Broadway performance with a difference and side-splitting comedy, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
City of Gosnells Mayor David Goode said the City was delighted to continue its association with Fringe World by bringing shows to local residents, particularly in the middle of a pandemic.
“The Fringe World performances at the Don Russell Performing Arts Centre are an opportunity for City of Gosnells residents to see world-class performers live on our doorstep,” he said
“Book your tickets quickly, support our local arts scene, and enjoy the shows.”
