History:

The Greensboro Fringe Festival, which began in 2003 as a way for independent theater producers to combine resources and reach broader audiences, has grown and become more diverse.

The theater artists of the Fringe do not rehash contemporary plays or musicals. All of the pieces featured at Fringe are premieres performed by local talent who do not have a regular venue to showcase their art. You never know, you may see the first production of the next “Rent” or you may witness a play about potatoes growing!

Greensboro Fringe Festival Mission Statement:

The mission of the Greensboro Fringe Festival is to support new and innovative performing artists by showcasing their creative works in a professional environment. The Festival is designed to bring attention to downtown Greensboro and promote it as an exciting center of entertainment and culture. The Festival seeks to introduce audiences to shows that they would not have the opportunity to see elsewhere and build an audience base for emerging artists.
