The Wilbury Theatre Group in collaboration with WaterFire Providence announces the dates for this year’s FRINGEPVD: The Providence Fringe Festival will take place July 18 – 24, 2021.

FRINGEPVD will be accepting artists submissions starting March 15 until April 15.

“After last year’s all-virtual Fringe, we are really looking forward to getting back to in-person performances,” said The Wilbury Theatre Group’s Artistic Director, Josh Short. “However, last year really opened our eyes to the creative freedom and wide reach of online performance so we are excited to expand on our digital Fringe performances, this year, while also returning to more traditional venues.”

FRINGEPVD participants (productions/shows/artists) are selected on non-juried, non-censored basis. After all the applications are in, participating artists are selected randomly by lottery. Performances are then scheduled in an appropriate venue based on schedule requirements, conflicts, and technical needs. All applicants do pay an application fee and, if selected, will also pay a production fee. 100% of all proceeds from ticket sales, goes directly back to the artists. For information and directions on how to apply to become a FRINGEPVD artist, visit FRINGEPVD.org

Additional information, including venue locations and programming, will be announced closer to the date.

FRINGEPVD: The Providence Fringe Festival® is produced by The Wilbury Theatre Group.  Their year-round staff and creative teams serve in official capacities for the Festival alongside part time Fringe-only staff, volunteers, and collaborators. Founded in 2010, The Wilbury Theatre Group's goal has been to offer audiences from throughout New England affordable access to cutting-edge theatre.
