What is KC Fringe Festival?

A celebration! The KC Fringe Festival — now in its sixth year — is jam-packed with live theater, dance, performance art, visual art, spoken word, puppetry, storytelling, film and fashion. The 2010 festival, like its predecessors, is a celebration of local, regional and national artists, presenting events at venues throughout Kansas City. With the 2010 Festival almost here (July 23 – August 1) we grow from eight days to ten.

How to Fringe?

1. BUY A BUTTON (One time purchase)
The Fringe Pass provides access to hundreds of shows, over 70 artists, and multiple countries. With your $5.00 Fringe Button, you can purchase tickets to any Fringe show over all 10 days of the festival; including entrance to free events at Fringe Central.

2. GET A TICKET (1 ticket per show, 1st come, 1st serve)
Whatever your style there’s a show for you. Ticket prices vary per event. Doors open 30 minutes before showtime. Tickets can be purchased online, at the venue, at Fringe Central, and the Fringe 411 Ticket Booth. We accept all major credit cards, debit cards, and good old cash. Oh, and no refunds after the show begins.

3. GET FRINGY!
Enjoy yourself. The purpose of Fringe is to have fun. Tell your friends, coworkers, and neighbors about your Fringe experience and bring them to your favorite show.

Why Fringe?

Fun!
The festival develops audiences, stimulates economic growth and supports the creative community at large. By making the arts readily visible, available and affordable, the festival supports and inspires local organizations year-round. The KC Fringe Festival is a service to the community, building bridges between audiences, artists, businesses and civic organizations.
