Announcing Fringe Central

We are immensely excited to announce the new location of Fringe Central for festival 2011: ArtWorks Theatre & Studios.

When we began planning the 2011 festival shortly after last June we knew one thing: We wanted to substantially increase the level of production at Fringe Central. The key to any festival’s success is its sense of place; the environment provided by the festival. We had some amazing times at our last locale, this year we wanted to bump it up several notches.

With our new-found partnership with the good folks at ArtWorks and Artel, we have done just that.

Located in the middle of Theatre Row along Santa Monica Blvd, we now offer five distinct performance spaces for participant productions.

These include…

• One mainstage space featuring a beautiful 80-seat house
• Two secondary performances spaces seating 35-40
• A space to house the Fringe Central Film program (formal announcement coming soon)
• A cabaret stage underneath the Fringe big-top tent

Did he say tent? Why yes he did. Amidst the excitement at Fringe Central will be a big top tent to house a cabaret stage, the Fringe Bar, and the hub of the social activity at the Fringe. It’s a place to enjoy the community and a few beverages after a heavy day of Fringing.

We are booking now! Interested in hosting your show at the epicenter of Fringe? Create your project and apply today to Fringe Central.

Special thanks to the ArtWorks team: Don Cesario, Monica Martin, and Olya Petrakova for their partnership and support.

And, yes…here’s another one of those venue tours featuring Fringe Central Manager Nick Hill to get you started…

Fringe on!
