A Note about Fringe Programming: 

Technical resources are unavailable for the Fringe performances. The Fringe Program can only provide a space to perform in, and in the Stamp Building – a stage riser and room lights. If you have a technically complex piece, please make us aware when you apply so we may determine if it is simple enough to be successful with the Fringe limitations. Please note that this application is for individuals who are ALREADY planning on attending the festival.

Please direct any questions via email to:fringe@puppeteers.org

Thanks so much for reading. Please feel free to share this call with anyone you think might be interested. We look forward to hearing from you!
