+ Score a sweet deal: The festival requires you buy a $3 button before purchasing a ticket to help keep Fringe Fest going. But the best part is the perks: bring your button to local spots including Raging Burrito, Sutra Lounge and Eddie’s Attic for freebies and discounted goods.
+ Job opportunities: Fringe is looking to hire a few technically skilled professionals to help with lighting, sound and venue managing. Plus, they’ll work with your schedule and delicious lunch will be provided by Sun in my Belly.
+ Support local: Tons of community favorites have teamed up to help make Fringe happen, and supporting local businesses helps events like this thrive. Sponsors include Scoutmob, Ice Box, AM1690, East Atlanta Copy Center, Ambient + Studio and more.
+ Not your typical arts festival: One of the unique things about Fringe is its focus on nontraditional art. Artists from as far away as Italy will be showcasing theatre, burlesque, dance and more at venues like WonderRoot, Beacon Dance and Horizons School Theatre.
+ Connect with the community: It could be argued that projects like Catlanta, Living Walls and the like often get more time in the spotlight than the city’s theatre happenings. Fringe gives you a taste of this thriving community and lets their talent shine.
Preview all of the shows tonight at the Opening Preview Party, from 8pm until midnight, at Decatur Square. Also, check out our interview with the festival’s Executive Director Diana Brown to learn more about Atlanta Fringe.
