About
About
The Denver Fringe Festival is an innovative, annual, open-access festival that supports bold, progressive arts and diverse voices in all forms of performing arts. Our primary goal is to support independent artists by providing a robust festival framework that allows them to self-produce, reach new audiences, and network with fellow indie creatives. Most importantly, artists are paid 70 percent of their ticket revenue. We promote access to the arts by ensuring people can enjoy cutting edge performing arts at an affordable price. Our mission is “arts for all.”
"It was awesome to be a part of this and see so many audiences have so much fun." Maddie, Stage Manager
"Funny. Authentic. Moving. Accessible. Really, really wonderful." Emily, audience member
"This is an excellent example of what top-notch indie theatre can be. Very recommended." Brad, audience member
"The best live performance I have seen in at least five, maybe ten years! I just had the privilege of taking in this show not once but twice this past week, and I shed tears of joy both times." Paul, audience member
"Wow! What a great experience! While mine was a new show, the audience reception was great, and I cannot wait to expand on the concept. None of that would have been possible without you and your team. Denver Fringe earns my highest possible praise." Jayne, performer
Mission
The Denver Fringe Festival exists to bring original performing arts to creative venues at an affordable price. We believe live performance entertains, enlightens, and empowers, and that bringing artists and audiences together helps cultivate vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable communities.
Our goals are to support independent artists in a variety of performance arts; make performance arts more accessible and inclusive; and build community around inspiring live performance.
