SBCT is proud to announce South Bend’s Fringe Festival June 23-26th, 2022! More than 25 unique acts will perform multiple times over the course of four days, spanning a wide range of artistic disciplines, including theatre, music, comedy, dance, and more! South Bend Fringe is here to celebrate the creativity of independent performing artists.
WHEN IS THE 2022 SOUTH BEND FRINGE FESTIVAL?
The second iteration of South Bend’s own Fringe Festival will happen this June 23–26 at South Bend Civic Theatre and St. Joe County Public Library. 25 shows will perform multiple times over the course of 4 days…totaling 100 individual performances!
Tickets: One show, $10; Weekday pass, $30; Weekend pass, $45; Full Fringe, $125.
This theatre fest originated in Edinburgh, Scotland in the 1940s as a big middle finger to an invite-only arts festival that was happening at the same time. Independent artists banded together, and the first Fringe was born! Now Fringe festivals happen all around the world to celebrate the creativity of independent performing artists.
There is no hierarchy of good art vs. bad art in Fringe–everyone has a shot of making it into the festival regardless of what their show is. The content is purposefully uncensored for artists to gain full creative freedom. To explore other Fringes, visit: http://www.worldfringe.com/members.
