The Atlanta Fringe Festival returns for its fourth consecutive year, bringing hundreds of local and national performers together for live theatrical performances. This year’s productions run the gamut from family-friendly cabaret to puppetry, modern dance, aerial acrobatics, satirical comedy and everything in between. The festival is set to run June 4-7, with every act performing a 3-minute excerpt from their show at a free preview party June 3 at 7 Stages.
Per Festival’s tradition, the 20 productions were selected via random, unjuried lottery – literally pulled out of a hat – from a pool of more than 40 submissions from nine different states. This year’s venues include 7 Stages, Highland Ballroom, the International Montessori Academy and the Marianna event space at Wrecking Bar Brewpub.
“We’re so excited to have so many familiar faces back, especially now that we can give back so much more to them through cash prizes and a larger share of the box office,” says Festival Executive Director Diana Brown. “Our top priority has always been taking care of our artists however we can, so being in a place where we can put more dollar bills in their pockets really feels like an accomplishment.”
