WELCOME to the 09' FRINGE FESTIVAL
Fringe lives in the present moment. Rebellious and adventurous. We are asking you to cast aside your burdens and be in this moment with us.
This year you will find us nestled between two historic DC neighborhoods: Penn Quarter and Mount Vernon Square. We have taken up residency in some interesting spaces: a former cigar shop that has been vacant since the 1968 riots, a German cultural institute, an old restaurant, a historic church and a long-standing, independent performance venue.
Come explore our centralized and unique Festival scene.
Come and laugh, cry, clap, dance, make a fist or two, hug, make a new friend and brush away your troubles.
We are here to show you that DC is more than a municipality filled with institutions that import artists to exhibit or bring down last year’s broadway hit. We are here to show you that we are a city filled with innovators.
The welcome mat is out. It is happening right now and waiting for you to start your adventure.
Go ahead. Take a Fringe pill. It will cure what ails you.
