Subject: Re: PUPT: What is a Fringe Festival?


I've performed for "fringe festivals" in different places: Singapore, for 
example has the main Performing Arts Festival, but the local shopping 
centers, department stores, country clubs, etc. sponsor venues for the 
"fringe."  We've always been paid, although some may want to be exposed by 
performing reduced fees or free.  Edinburg has a large fringe festival, you 
self produce and charge what you want during the well-respected festival.  
During the 1984 Olympics, the Fringe festival featured some of the best 
companies in the world...it was the first time for "Cirque du Soleil" in the 
US (I believe) and look where it took them!!
