The Atlanta Fringe Festival returns for its 13th year, May 28 – June 8, across 10 local venues.

In the style of the global Fringe Festival movement, Atlanta Fringe Festival offers an artist-driven, open-access platform where artists can present original and unconventional works– and retain 100% of their ticket revenue. The result is a genre-spanning entertainment showcasing independent, experimental and boundary-pushing performances.

–40.4.40 (The Hip Hop Musical for Dreamers)

–Edgewood Avenue, an improvised puppet variety show (think SNL-meets-Muppets)
