How does a “nobody” overcome the barriers that stand between a great idea for a show and getting it in front of a receptive audience? There are venues to reserve. Lighting to figure out. A box office to manage. All in addition to the work of developing the show and finding talent to perform.

As a Festival artist you can focus on the show because the Fringe staff covers the logistics and provides the platform for artists to share their work with adventurous audiences.

But to get in the Fringe Festival, you’ll have to enter the lottery and hope that random luck is on your side.
