The Fringe, The Internet, & Democracy

November 21, 2007 by Ben Hill

With a limited number of venues available and demand expected to be high, how do we create a fair, unbiased process to select Fringe projects? This is a very sensitive issue as any “juried” selection process violates the underlying principles of Fringe. After all, the first fringe (1947 in Edinburgh) involved rebel artists setting up camp on the “fring... read more

February 15, 2011 by Ben Hill

The Hollywood Fringe is all about community – artists, art lovers, art patrons, and good friends. There is one more community that is directly impacted by the Fringe: The Hollywood business community.

The State of Theatre in LA

December 01, 2009 by Ben Hill

There is this somewhat ridiculous notion that theatre (and by extension all non-filmed arts) is scarce in the city of angels. This is a misconception we have fought since planning began for the Hollywood Fringe. Fair enough, I suppose: No one can deny that the multi-billion dollar film industry is the giant poka-dotted elephant in the room. What many don’t know is that theatre and... read more

The Accidental Writer

April 14, 2014

About the Writer (300 words) Naren Weiss began his playwrighting career in Chennai in 2010, quite by accident. Because he never imagined he would have a career in the same, several of his early scripts have since been lost; having been tossed aside immediately after performances.

What is a Fringe Festival?
