Greetings, Fringers-

NOV 2018
After a successful first Off-Season Office Hours at The Broadwater Plunge in November, we’ve opted to start having more of these community events.
Our second Office Hours will be held December 5th from 7pm-2am at The Three Clubs (1123 N. Vine St.). Our partners there have generously offered to donate 20% of the night’s proceeds to HFF19, so come and hang with Fringe friends and support the festival! You’ll also have the chance to check out HFF18 hit The People vs. Hell Kross (tickets on Eventbrite) at 8:30 in the back bar.
RSVP to our Facebook event here.
