Meet our New Publicity Manager
My name is Brittany Gash and I am in love with words. (I am also the new Publicity Manager for Hollywood Fringe Festival, but I’ll get to that later.)

I found a groove quickly and really enjoyed my time there that night. It turned out to be the first night of several th...

I started off simply stage managing a production that was going to be performing in a festival. I had no idea what Hollywood Fringe was! Through some well placed karmic connections, I ended up performing at the Opening Night party, helpin...
