FringeU 2011 - "At Your Service..."

y William Shakespeare - abridged by Kelly JohnstonMUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING
Four actors, a trunk of props and a ladder. All in one hour, all outdoors.
Much Ado About Nothing. Hold onto your tights, ladies and gents... this ain't your grandma's Shakespeare.

FringeU is FringeNYC for your future! This year, FringeU will be focusing on helping FringeNYC Participants get to know the people who do year-round what FringeNYC does every summer: help the arts community grow!

Advocacy and arts service organizations will be giving informational workshops every Monday and Tuesday during the festival on who they are, what they do, and how you can use their resources to help your company flourish.  

FringeU events will take place at FringeCENTRAL.

What Are We Doing About Indie Theater?
Love theater? Find it frustrating? Looking for a sense of community? Meet up with artists and audiences, propose a starting point for discussion, then take part in one of these conversations, flit between them all or go get a coffee. If there are topics you are passionate about or annoyed with, all are possible because in Open Space you set the agenda.

FringeNYC?

FringeNYC will celebrate its 16th Anniversary August 10th - 26th, 2012.

FringeNYC? Although FringeNYC is a production of The Present Theatre Company, Inc., it takes:
75,000 audience members
5,000 artists
2,000 registered volunteers
1,200 performances
200 shows
20 venues
16 days
15 dollar advance tickets and
2 full-time employees

to make FringeNYC happen.

We do this? Good question! In 1997, our budget was $74,000. Today, it's more than a million dollars. We must seek and secure support from donors in order to "bridge the gap" between rising costs and our desire to keep ticket prices low. Your donation helps us grow to meet the challenges of the future!  Support of FringeNYC has a tremendous impact on indie theatre. We appreciate it!
