It’s almost that time of the year, #LAThtr peeps! Summertime in L.A. includes the Hollywood Fringe Festival event, happening over several weeks in June, and this year promises to be their biggest one ever.
L.A.’s largest celebration of the performing arts continues to grow and currently has 375 shows registered to perform over 2,000 performances throughout the festival. This is already a 25% growth over the 2016 Hollywood Fringe Festival – and more productions are expected to register between now and early June.
The 2017 Hollywood Fringe Festival includes diverse offerings from a wide range of performing arts genres. The majority of shows are either ensemble theatre, solo performance, or comedy. However, attendees will also find cabaret, musical theatre, dance, and this year’s new category: Immersive Theatre.
