Fringe Partners with LAUSD

As part of our efforts to increase the Hollywood Fringe Festival’s community outreach, we are very excited to announce this year’s work with the Los Angeles Unified School District to bring Fringey programming to the students of Hollywood. Bancroft Middle School, located just around the corner from Fringe Central, will be hosting the very first Hollywood Fringe Assembly – 300 students will fill the auditorium to see “How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse”, a UK-based show that has toured Fringe Festivals since 2008.

When it comes to surviving the zombie apocalypse it’s never to early to start learning, which is why Dr. Dale and his experts from the School of Survival are visiting Bancroft Middle on 17th June to ensure that the youth of today will become the saviors of tomorrow and be able to battle through those dark days ahead to thrive and survive when the undead revive. The unique seminar in zombology not only teaches you how to survive by covering such important topics as hand to hand combat, mental aptitude and zombie recognition, but it also tests the audiences skills to see if they actually would survive when the time comes. With multiple stars, awards and a best selling book under their belts this show is not only essential viewing but brain destruction is guaranteed.

We’re excited that this “wonderfully weird” show, which had sold out shows during the 2009 and 2010 Edinburgh Fringe, will be coming to Bancroft Middle School’s students. It’s new, different, fun… and very Fringey!
