For late 2016, The Fringe Files presented brand new family friendly seasonal show, Christmas Evie, written and directed by Michael Starr.

The Plot

When rebellious sibling Grace consistently misbehaves during the build up to Christmas, the wicked Gimbel takes matters into his own hands, banishing Grace from the rest of her family and friends. Will Grace realise the error of her ways? Will sister Evie, mummy Candy and orphan friend Nicholas manage to rescue her? Join us for this fab feel good family friendly morality tale, featuring popular sing-along tunes along the way.

For the first time, The Fringe Files presented a full length show, which featured our largest ever production team.

Catering during the performances was provided by Neck of the Woods cafe.
