Fringe Submission Deadline

Reading Theater Project’s 9th annual 5-Minute Fringe Festival offers a platform for performing artists to create new work, develop and explore theatrical ideas, challenge their own expectations, and collaborate with an artistic community.
Performing artists are invited to submit an original performance piece for our 9th Annual 5-Minute Fringe Festival.
This year, the theme is Wonder. Whatever you create should be your own interpretation of Wonder, literal or metaphorical, in whatever performance medium is best for you.
There is no fee to submit. Deadline is Friday, December 22, 2023.
