Introducing "Fringe Family"

Ah, Fringes. Home to all things experimental, emerging, unplanned, and subversive. Excellent stuff for the adventurous audience member with a touch of soulful revolution in their heart.

But where do families fit into the mix? Rather snugly, actually.

We are excited to introduce our brand new Fringe Family Program to the Hollywood Fringe 2011 lineup. Fringe Family showcases family-friendly programming on the Fringe for kids, parents, and the parent/kid in all of us.

How does it work?

Fringe producers interested in staging a Fringe Family program need only affirm their show abides by the basic rules of Fringe Family – pledging there is no foul language, adult themes, or otherwise non-kid friendly material in their shows. Patrons interested in attending Fringe Family shows are provided listings in the guide and on the website to help plan their family fun.

Fringe Family is an excellent way to market your kid-friendly show as we provide tools to match patrons preferring such programming to your projects. Special weekend programming for kids at Fringe Central will showcase some of these shows along with special workshops for creative kids and parents.

Many thanks to the man behind Fringe Family, our director of special programs Jon Armstrong (also known for his magical ways with cards).

Expect more information on this program as we near the merry month of June.

Interested in participating and want to learn more? Shoot us an email and we will help you sort through the details.
