FRINGE TV

PARTICIPANT LIGHTNING ROUND 
(Festival Covid Guidelines will be followed at this event) 

We invite you to join us on Monday, May 16th from 5 pm – 8 pm for a Lightning Round of FringeTV interviews. It will be held at Thymele Atlas (1100 N. Western, Los Angeles).

You will answer 2 questions very, very quickly. Lightning round style! Remember, you will be in a short video with 30 other productions, so make your answers SHORT & SWEET! Make sure to bring your awesome personality and character to the stage for us! You are welcome to wear your costumes and be as animated as you would like.

You will answer the following questions:

What is your show about?

What is your favorite line in the show?

No more than four people from your production are allowed in the video. We recommend planning ahead for who will say what, and when. Remember: keep it short. If your answers are too long, your show may not make the cut.

Hard-hitting dramatic material is not the best to present on the Cabaret Stage, however, you can still promote your show through us by donating free show tickets or swag to be raffled off during Cabaret performances. To arrange a donation, contact [email protected] 

Great news! We will be offering three $500 stipends to HFF22 producers from money raised from our Fringe Memberships campaign! 

Artist Fund Applications are now open! 

Artist Fund applications are now open! $500 artist fund stipends are available to currently registered local HFF22 producers whose income has been substantially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Want to help more artists get $$ at Fringe??

We don’t have to leave it at only three stipends. If we raise another $2000 in Memberships (which can be one time donations or recurring monthly donations!), we can fund a whole additional stipend. Let’s do some math…that’s twenty memberships at the Fringe Fan level ($100), eight at the Fringe Friend level ($250), four at the Fringe Family level ($500), or two at the Fringe Freak level ($1,000). 

Will you help us get there? Please read all about our Membership Program here and consider donating today. Not only will you be helping our artists and programs like Fringe Central, you’ll also get a ticket to our Opening Night Party (and more)!

As an open-access festival, we seek to foster a ground-breaking community of artists and make performances more accessible, both to the artists who produce them and for those who otherwise cannot afford to see theatre. Our committee firmly believes that these productions will enrich audience experience and the quality of the Hollywood Fringe Festival’s artistic offerings through the presentation of unique and underrepresented themes.

Each scholarship recipient will receive free registration and a $550 stipend towards production costs, a Fringe mentor, and marketing and networking opportunities as a member of the Fringe community. Fringe Scholarships are available to first-time Hollywood Fringe producers who contribute to the ethnic, cultural, racial, intellectually or physically disabled, d/Deaf, and the LGBTQ+ diversity of the Fringe community.
