Greetings, Fringers-

Thanks to all who joined us at the last Town Hall of the year! A big thanks goes out to all those at the Elephant Theatre Company for hosting us.

In this Town Hall, we discussed a wide range of topics including ticketing, fringing, promoting, and maximizing personal enrichment from your Fringe experience.

For those of you who missed it (or want to revisit old times), we recorded the proceedings.

Enjoy!

The Hollywood Fringe Festival is delighted and proud to announce Student Fringe, a new outreach program for Festival 2012. Student Fringe will provide middle and high school aged students with an immersive arts education experience through a full day of workshops and performances at Fringe Central.

Student Fringe will be led by a diverse group of experienced LA-based actors, musicians, teachers, and producers – from comedy to clowns, music to spoken word, and more. Student Fringe provides a glimpse into the alternative arts world, where a do-it-yourself mindset is both encouraged and celebrated.

The goal is to show students the many ways they can be a part of the artistic community, the many different types of arts that are available to them, and to provide them with an experience that is both educational and entertaining. We want LA students to FRINGE with us!

We currently have several schools from different parts of Los Angeles coming to join us and one another for Student Fringe, but we still have some room for more! If you are an LA-based teacher or educator who may want to bring a class to attend Student Fringe, please e-mail [email protected] to learn more.

Fringe on,

Meghan McCauley
Outreach Director

Greetings, Fringers-

To provide an equal opportunity for everyone to benefit from premium ad placement in the Fringe Guide, we have adopted the custom of auctioning off these spaces. The premium ads auction begins tonight at 7pm pacific (Tuesday, April 17) and ends this Friday (April 20) at 7pm pacific. We will send out a reminder email as the auction nears a close.

You can view and bid on the auction by following this link.

This year we have four ads on the block:

• The Back Cover (oooh, ahhhh)
• The Inner Front Cover (one page turn on the left)
• The Left Centerfold
• The Right Centerfold
  Only full page ads qualify. You may still bid if you have already purchased a smaller sized ad; you must provide full page art on final payment when the auction ends this week.

Bids start at $500 (the participant cost of a full page ad). If you have already paid for a Fringe ad, the amount you paid will be deducted from the winning bid. There are “buy it now” prices this year for those that want to secure a premium spot before the auction is complete.

Contact us at [email protected] with any questions.

Fringe On.

For those of you seeking to place an ad in the printed guide (hint: this is a good idea), we need your artwork uploaded by Sunday, April 15 at midnight pacific so we can make our print deadlines.

Participants: You do not receive a graphical representation of your project with your basic guide listing, so this is how to get your beautiful art included in the guide. Prices are heavily slashed for participants, so make sure to purchase ads while logged in under your Fringe account.

Checkout the ads section of the site to learn how to order print ads.
