Fringe in the News

 

 

what’s a fringe festival, anyway?

We’re Utah’s forge for independent theatre.

The Great Salt Lake Fringe is a performing arts festival! Over two weekends, we showcase 20 performing artists and groups featuring theatre, dance, music, magic, storytelling, and more. Fringe shows are original, uncensored, and unadjudicated.

It’s Disneyland for theatre lovers.
