Health & Safety

The 2021 Fringe Festival will take place predominantly in-person. To help protect the health and safety of audiences, artists, staff, and our greater community, patrons are required to wear masks at all indoor performances.

Additionally, all indoor FringeArts Curated events will require proof of vaccination to attend. Audience members will be asked to show proof of vaccination before entering a performance venue. Accepted forms for proof of vaccination include a physical vaccine card with your name on it or a digital photo of your vaccine card on a cell phone.

Some independently produced shows also require proof of vaccination. Please reference individual event details for show-specific health and safety guidelines.

If you are feeling unwell, experiencing any COVID-related symptoms, or come into close contact with someone who has COVID-19 up to 14 days before a performance, please stay home.

These guidelines may evolve depending on local health and safety recommendations.

    Giving to FringeArts through a Foundation or Donor Advised Fund
    Many Producers Circle level donors choose to support FringeArts through a charitable foundation or a donor advised fund. According to IRS regulations, donors may not receive any tangible benefits or services in exchange for the grant from their foundation or donor advised fund. In these situations, FringeArts can offer basic benefits that carry no tangible value. These available benefits include:

    • Invitations to Fringe Festival VIP Opening Night, annual Works-in-Progress Member Appreciation Rehearsal Receptions, and Inside Look
    • Invitations to other exclusive, private events throughout the year

    If you prefer to receive the full range of available goods and services associated with the gift level that you choose, including an annual FringeArts membership for discounts, and complimentary tickets to performances and FEASTIVAL, you may make a personal payment to purchase the value of benefits at cost. Please note that the personal payment amount cannot be subtracted from the foundation or donor advised fund grant amount.
