Pier 21: Thom Fitzgerald

7 Deadly Sins Dept: He must be going after the award again this year with 7 Deadly Sins: Frommers Guide to Hell, a performance art piece that makes brilliant use of Pier 21 s historic display of seven, train-car rooms, each with sliding doors, in the museum s Rudolph P. Bratty Exhibition Hall, according to The Chronicle Herald. In 7 Deadly Sins, the booths, designed by Pier 21 to tell the immigration story, become confessionals as well as train cars with the sound of a rocking train and last year, Thom Fitzgerald won the Fringiest Fringe Show for a 10-minute drama starring Ryan Doucette as an unhappy barnacle that the audience viewed through swim goggles. Pier 21 is an exciting new venue for the fringe and its possibilities are so rich. Don t forget to buy your tickets first at the Pier 20 Pavilion next door to the Halifax Seaport Farmers Market.
