Pre-Festival Educational Opportunities:
Workshops consist of panel discussions with past Hollywood Fringe participants, and Town Halls are led by Hollywood Fringe staff. Both are great ways to get to know the Hollywood Fringe from different angles and perspectives!
We will have ASL interpreters at all in-person events, and auto-captioning at all virtual events. If you would like to request an interpreter at any virtual workshop, please contact [email protected] at least 72 hours before the event, and we will provide one. All events are “pay what you can,” and donations are much appreciated, but only if you can afford to do so.
