Theatrical Roller Derby
If you’re thinking about checking out the Fringe Festival that’s keeping the Inglewood community abuzz, then you should know about the one-woman show called Roller Derby Saved My Soul. This performance is sure to make laugh as you get to know a shy girl who finds her true passion in the highly competitive and often questionable sport of roller derby. You can catch RDSMS at the Alexandra Centre Society, located at 922 9th Avenue SE on August 9th at 3pm. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased in advance here.

If you’re looking for something totally different to do on a Sunday afternoon, then consider attending Project 12. On August 10th, the National Music Centre is hosting a cool event that showcases 10 talented artists performing songs they’ve written. What’s the catch? The songs have been put together in only seven days and each artist has to perform using the same guitar. Tickets are $25 and the event will begin at 3pm (134 11th Ave SE). For tickets, click here.
