Registration Deadline Approaching

Greetings, Fringers!

Registration is cruising right along as we near our first deadline of April 1. For those of you who want to be included in the printed guide as participants (hint: you do), make sure to finalize your bookings and pay your Fringe registration fee by then.

We are lining up some exciting visibility events, promotions, and programs to make the Fringe even more spectacular than last year.

As always, if you need assistance, help is just an email away. Our support staff are standing by to shepherd you through your Fringe adventure.

Enjoy your update and Fringe On!

Registration Deadline

Deadline Alert: To be included in the printed guide (check out last year’s), we need your registration complete by April 1. To register you need an online project and a booked venue. Check out this article for a rundown of the entire process.

For those of you who already have a booked venue, please contact your venue and ask them to “make an offer on your online project”; they will know what you mean. You will receive an email from the Fringe website that an offer has been made with information on how to register.

Once you have paid the $250 fee ($175 for free admission or one-off projects) you are officially a participant of Fringe 2011 and eligible for all the Fringe benefits.

Town Hall

Thanks to everyone who attended the Town Hall at Theatre Asylum on March 2. We had a wonderful discussion on topics including registration, finding a venue, ticketing, managing costs, hosting a venue, and more.

We know many of you could not make it to this event – fear not, there will be more of its kind before the Festival launches on June 16. In the meantime you can listen to the town hall to hear what you missed.

Fringe [Film]

We are excited to announce the launch of our Fringe [Film] program; an opportunity for established and emerging filmmakers to make a splash on the Fringe circuit. Applications are now open, so if you have a film of any kind make sure to apply today.

Submissions are handled a little differently for film than other fringe programming. We ask for a small application fee to be considered in the program. If accepted, we feature your film at our Fringe Central venue.

Read all about it to learn more about how the program works.

Housing Artists

We need generous volunteers to house national and international artists during the Fringe. Got a couch, a spare bedroom, a friend with a ten room manor in the hills? Send us an email and we will add you to the lists of hosts for the 2011 Fringe.

Meet the Staff

As a part of our ongoing series of Fringe staff introductions, we’d like to introduce Food and Beverage Director Abbie Wagoner, Special Programs Director Jon Armstrong, and Support Director Alexa Hanrahan.
