Capital Fringe strives to provide outlets and opportunities for artists to self-produce in a nurturing and supportive environment while exposing their work to patrons and the local, national and international media that they would never be able to garner on their own. Capital Fringe is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization founded in the summer of 2005 with the purpose of infusing energy into performing arts in the Washington DC region.
As part of the Fringe movement that began in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1947 and continues today, Capital Fringe joins a host of counterparts around the world. To, date we have presented three major festivals over a thousand participating artists producing their work to an audience representing over 10,000 households. While the Festival is an annual event, Capital Fringe continues to expand its mission throughout the year by operating the Fringe Training Factory where the performing arts community can lead and participate in workshops, panel discussions and round tables. A new partnership with Sasha Bruce Youth Work has expanded the Fringe Training Factory to include at-risk youth programs with the intention of monitoring and cultivating young artists, voices and leaders that will join and shape the DC performing arts community.
