Can you see it? LET’S MAKE A FRINGE FESTIVAL!
Many of you remember what it took to start a fringe festival in New York City all those years ago. And to be clear: we know that we’ll face even greater challenges in the future – as together we write this, the second part of FringeNYC’s story.
But we also know that what we’ve created together is more important now than it has ever been.
