This is FringeNYC - a beautiful cacophony put together from
a lot of little pieces - all very different, but somehow working perfectly together to create a wonderful megaphone.
They are New York's best, freely giving of their time and
energy and together giving a much larger voice to artists
from all over the world. This festival really DOES take a village! Whether they're a Vendor Partner, Advertiser, Donor,
Sponsor, Community Partner, Volunteer, Venue, Staffer, or
Artist, this festival is comprised of a lot of wonderful people
stepping up and saying “What can I do to help? What can I
do to make the best festival possible for New Yorkers - the
hardest working people on the planet.”
And together they are amplifying many different voices and
stories. Just like the title of the illustration on the cover of
this guide, we've invited these artists to TELL THEIR STORY
/ BE HEARD, and they have all come together to share with
this city. They're an important part of FringeNYC's story,
too.
And so are you! Without you, our audience, on the other
end of the Rube Goldberg-esque creation that IS
FringeNYC, our stories wouldn't have a home. So we thank
you, so much, for being a part of this. We hope you'll enjoy
as much of FringeNYC as you can!
And since some of FringeNYC's most important parts have,
themselves, gotten some varied new parts over this past
