2026 Duality Program
Welcome to our 2026 Duality page! We have another great line-up of performances and presentations to keep the Fringe party going this summer! We have presentations from local Indigenous multi-disciplinary arts company Aanmitaagzi & Colombian-Canadian artist Cesar Forero, a new visual art installation by Corbin Elliot, a staged play reading of a new work by Ian McCormack, and Theatre Making North Bay will be hosting a play reading of The Book Club Play. We will also have another amazing night of excitement and adventure courtesy of The Highwaymen!
All of our Duality programming is free or Pay-What-You-Can up to a maximum of $10. Everyone is welcome, but be sure to read the descriptions for each of the presentations because some activities may not suitable for all ages.
