DENVER FRINGE FESTIVAL
What is Fringe? It's unjuried, uncensored, unconventional. It’s unexpected, unparalleled, and unlike anything you’ve experienced before. It’s diverse artistic voices in all forms of performing arts, and it’s accessible to everyone. That is, if we have anything to say about it! Fringe's goal is a week-long annual performing arts festival so inclusive and expansive that we can’t imagine summer in Denver without it! We are hosting performances on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, and workshops on Friday and Saturday.
