Dance and more at the 14th annual Philly Fringe!

Tickets are now on sale for the 14th annual Philly Fringe, which runs in conjunction with the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival from September 3 – 18. The Philly Fringe will host 183 artists or companies performing 188 shows in venues throughout Philadelphia for the largest Fringe in festival history, topping 2009’s record breaking number of productions. The 2010 Fringe line-up will include theater, dance, comedy, performance art, music, poetry, puppetry, visual art, and work that incorporates multiple genres and disciplines, offering audiences the excitement of discovering new work from the region’s vibrant performing arts community as well as artists from around the country.

In the “unfiltered” Philly Fringe, festival artists present their work free of a selection process to create a show with box office and marketing support. For some, participating in the Fringe is a once-a-year or once-in-a-lifetime opportunity while, for many professional companies participating it can be an opportunity to debut their newest work to the Festival’s audiences.

Artists in this year’s Philly Fringe hail from Philadelphia and other Pennsylvania cities and suburbs, New Jersey, New York, Delaware, Washington D.C., Ohio, and as far away as Georgia, Tennessee, and California.

“Now in our 14th year, the Philly Fringe is well on its way to becoming the largest Fringe festival in the country,” says John Emory, Philly Fringe Coordinator. “We’ve seen record-breaking participation that continues to grow each year. We’re literally spilling in to the streets, turning our entire city into one giant stage!”

In conjunction with the Fringe, the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival features performances by international and local acclaimed contemporary performing artists who are selected and invited to the Festival. Together, the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe draw over 30,000 people who come to be a part of “Festival time” in the city, experience innovative work, meet new people, and interact with thousands of artists.
