Youthful tales promise hilarity and heart

A fundraiser for the Fringe Windsor performing arts festival promises to be hilarious and heartwarming, say organizers.

Scribbler Skeletons will feature local celebrities and creatives reading from their childhood journals, angsty poems, and awkward essays - hosted by UWindsor staffer Kristen Siapas.

Another UWindsor employee, Valerie Bonasso, is one of the producers of Fringe Windsor, a platform for artists to self-produce live shows slated for July 24 to 27.

"Our festival strives to be an accessible opportunity for artists and patrons to participate, and we value inclusivity and diversity," she says.

Scribbler Skeletons will be presented one night only: Saturday, May 10, at 7:30 p.m. at Walkerville Brewery, 525 Argyle Rd. Tickets are $30, available online or at the door.
