Fringe After HoursWe've taken Fringe Central on the roam! Feedback from regular Fringe'rs has prompted us to create a roaming Fringe central that takes place in a variety of locations near our various venues. It's still the official post-show hangout destination throughout the festival, but now you can pick and choose where you want to join us. Fringe After Hours events are free admission and open to the public. |
