Sneak Peek at Minnesota Fringe Festival Movies

Saturday July 11, 2009
The Minnesota Fringe Festival opens on July 30, running until August 9, showing hundreds of plays, improv, musicals, dance and other performance art shows at theaters in Minneapolis.

The Minnesota Fringe Festival is the Midwest’s largest performing arts festival, and is the largest nonjuried, uncensored Fringe in the United States. Artists apply to perform at the festival, the available spaces are filled by a lottery, and it's left up to the artists to put on their best show and to the audience to judge the performances.

Fringe tickets are $12 per show, with discounts for students, seniors, children, and for buying more than five tickets. Or, see unlimited shows with the $150 Ultra Pass.

Get a preview of what will be playing at the festival with the Fringey Awards, a collection of 60-second trailers and teasers for performances in the festival. Vote for up to three of your favorites, and the most popular will win $500 for its creator.
