(NTFV)

Tell me more about Non-Traditional Fringe Venue Applications

The primary intent for Non-Traditional Fringe Venue applications is to foster new and innovative ways of presenting theater. Over the years the SF Fringe has hosted shows presented on moving buses, in local parks, bars and cabarets, at the planetarian and the tulip garden in Golden Gate Park, and on a Market Street park bench. It is an opportunity for shows that do not fit the Standard Fringe Venue format. Proposals must meet the SF Fringe Guidelines for NTFVs.

IMPORTANT DATES for NTFV Applicants

• NTFV Applications will be accepted until February 24th 2006 at 12:00AM Pacific Time (Midnight)
• Last day for NTFVs to withdraw and receive 50% refund of Application fee. May 12th, 2006
• 15th Annual SF Fringe Festival September 6-17, 2006
