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.
