May 12, 2026What I liked
The most valuable part was how transparent the discussion was. They covered real concerns artists actually have instead of giving vague festival advice. The section about printed guide proofs and ticketing deadlines helped clear up a lot of confusion, and I appreciated how open the team was during the Q&A. It also reminded me how supportive the Hollywood Fringe community can be.
What I didn't like
A few topics moved pretty quickly, especially the tech-related sections, so it would have helped to slow down a bit or provide a follow-up resource document afterward. Since there was so much information packed into two hours, some details were easy to miss if you weren’t taking notes the entire time.
My overall impression
HFF26 Town Hall #3 felt genuinely useful and well organized, especially for anyone trying to survive the chaos leading into Fringe Trees Hate You season. Lois & Ellen kept the session moving while still making it feel personal and community-driven. It was a nice balance of practical information and encouragement, and I left feeling way more prepared about ticketing, previews, and the printed guide process.
