Atlanta’s theater-dance-spoken word scene will burn this summer with the third annual Atlanta Fringe Festival, running June 5-8. Shows, chosen by the luck of a lottery draw, will play for a total of 110 live performances in four days.
The lottery winners are 22 productions from across the country and beyond, including a solo comedy from Ontario, Canada, by Under the Blood Productions.
AFF 2014 performances will take place in some of the city’s hottest nooks and crannies, including 7 Stages in Little Five Points, two spaces in the Big House on Ponce, the Highland Inn Ballroom, MINT Gallery and the Marianna event space at Wrecking Bar Brewpub.
AFF will again offer Atlanta Fringe Audio — a YouTube collective of audio plays available May 26-June 8. Those submissions are being accepted through April 18.
And if you just can’t wait to get your Fringe on, be at the Big House on Ponce on March 1 to drink and dance with this year’s artists. This ain’t your mama’s fundraiser. The full lineup:
