Fringe in the News
Featured
what’s a fringe festival, anyway?
We’re Utah’s forge for independent theatre.
The Great Salt Lake Fringe is a performing arts festival! Over two weekends, we showcase 20+ performing artists and groups featuring theatre, dance, music, magic, storytelling, and more. Fringe shows are original, uncensored, and unadjudicated.
“It’s Disneyland for theatre lovers.”
