6th Annual Fringe Festival
March 2009
Theatre Every Day, Every Hour

History: In 2004 the Fringe Festival was kicked-off with a standing-room only audience late Thursday night during the SETC 55th Convention. Performances for the following two days showcased a wide variety of work at SETC. From one-person shows and experimental theatre to theatre for youth productions and state festival runner-up performances, audiences continued to come and enjoy theatre. The festival has become a convention favorite, and continues in 2009.

Who can Perform? All sectors of our theatre world - professional, educational, theatre for youth, theatre by youth, community theatres, etc. Some of the work will be from the state Secondary School and Community Festivals; It is up to the judges at each festival to recommend work. The most suitable work for a "fringe" festival might not be the runner-up or alternate production.

Who Selects the Productions? The Program Chair Beth Harvey will select the performances in order to produce a program that is varied by type, origin, intention, audience and geography.

How Long Should the Performance Be? The time slot for each production in the Fringe Festival is 1 1/2 hours. This includes set-up and strike. Rehearsal time is not scheduled.

Important Details:

• Remember that all work displayed at the Fringe must supply appropriate rights and royalty information.
• All participants must be members of SETC and be registered for the Convention. All production costs are the responsibility of the production company.
