PortFringe - Maine's Fringe Festival

PortFringe - Maine's Fringe Festival More than Theater. This is Fringe. We are Maine's Fringe Festival. https://linktr.ee/portfringe We are a by-lottery, non-juried fringe theater festival.

We support new, edgy, and experimental performance in our city of Portland. We celebrate the imaginative and the weird. We seek to eliminate financial and logistical barriers so that artists can focus on their work (and maybe even make money doing so). We celebrate and contribute to Maine’s vibrant performance art community. MISSION: The mission of PortFringe is to support theater and performance

artists, to encourage experimentation and innovation, and to provide an accessible, affordable outlet for exciting work that enriches our creative community.

ON SALE NOW // Tickets to the Pop-Up PortFringe performances of Hans Christian Anderson’s “The Little Mermaid” are now available at www.portfringe.com 🎟️

Returning to a TWO show format, we’ll have a High Tide performance (1:30pm) and a Low Tide performance (7:30pm) with the usual whimsy you can expect from a PortFringe event like schmoozing over drinks and snacks, bidding on the best “bad art”, and more!

Visit the link in our bio for a direct link to tickets sales and we look forward to diving under the sea with you all on March 21st at Rising Tide Brewing!
