ABOUT THE DISCOVER FRINGE INDUSTRY PROGRAM
The Discover Fringe Industry Program connects Hollywood Fringe artists with professionals across the theatre, film, and television industries, creating opportunities for work to live beyond the festival. At its core, the program is built on a simple belief: bold, independent stories can resonate far beyond Hollywood Fringe when given the right platform and partners. Discover Fringe is designed to spark meaningful collaborations between Fringers and the industry leaders shaping what comes next.
We are thrilled to welcome a new partnership with Dropout, whose support helps expand the reach and impact of the Discover Fringe program, and aims to create even more pathways for independent creators to bring their work to wider audiences.
