Hello dear Fringers!

Some of you might remember me from last year, I was the volunteer in the off the shoulder freak shirt at the festival all the hours I wasn’t sleeping or working my money job.

Know what’s wonderful about volunteering for the Fringe?

You’re always needed! And even when there isn’t an artist to help with bus schedules or directions or a lobby to vacuum, there are countless houses with seats to fill.

As the festival continues to grow, so does our volunteer base. This Falll I was asked to join the Fringe staff in the capacity of Volunteer Coordinator, based on my own experience during our first year. I’m so excited about ensuring the most efficient use of volunteers. Our street team will be fierce this year. We plan on stationing volunteers outside each venue with Fringe programs, gear, and, of course, information.

With Fringe Central moving to a much more central location I might add, we don’t want anyone missing out on the fun at ArtWorks. Volunteers will be selling Fringe merch, tickets to shows, and making artists feel at home in Hollywood.

If you’re interested in volunteering or have any suggestions as to how our force can create an even more welcoming arts community during the festival, please feel free to contact me.

Fringe on!
