Why support the Fringe?
- This event is unique in Fort Collins
- It is challenging and expensive for artists to produce their own original work, but Fringe is working to change that
- We provide the platform with very little cost to the artist and by hosting several artists, we pool our resources and audiences to ensure the each work is seen and valued
- We promote all Fringe pieces to all our audience members and make sure people know who helped us make this Festival happen!
It takes a lot of money to make theatre! Currently artists in Fort Collins can audition and perform with local theatre companies in traditional performance settings, however if they want to produce their own work, they must handle all the overhead costs such as marketing, ticketing, costuming, sets, props, venues, staff, insurance, and rental fees on their own. This makes it extremely difficult, expensive and exclusive for artists to produce their own original work. The Fringe provides the platform with very little cost to the artist (only $30 application fee/ per project) by hosting several artists, we pool our resources and audiences to ensure the each work is seen and valued.
