The New York International Fringe Festival (FringeNYC), the largest
multi-arts festival in North America, will present the 14th Annual
Festival from August 13th - 29th, 2010. Each year the festival
presents programming by nearly 200 of the world's best emerging
theatre troupes and dance companies. General FringeNYC applications

puppetry, performance art, multi-media, etc.), and separate FringeAL
FRESCO (free outdoor events) and FringeJR (children's programming)
applications are also available. Applications are now available online

2010.

NOTE: All applications must be postmarked on or before February 13,
2010 or hand delivered before 6pm on February 14th, 2010. Applications
must be accompanied by a non-refundable $40 application fee, in the
form of a certified check, cashiers check, or money order in US
Dollars payable to The Present Company.

In November 2007, FringeNYC was honored by Mayor Michael Bloomberg
with the Mayor's Award for Arts & Culture “for its phenomenal
leadership in showcasing the best and boldest theater and performance
by both established and emerging artists. The New York International
Fringe Festival is renowned for presenting work that reflects the
excitement and energy of the contemporary theater world - locally,
nationally and abroad.” Previous recipients of the award include
Woody Allen, Celia Cruz, Stephen Sondheim, Wynton Marsalis, The
Tribeca Film Festival, Mark Morris, The Public Theater, Chita Rivera,
and Edward Albee.

In 2010, many of New York City's most prominent downtown performance
venues will host productions from around the globe as part of
FringeNYC. Past participant venues, ranging in size from 50 to 700
seats, include Lucille Lortel Theater, Soho Playhouse, Players
Theater, Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, Cherry Lane Theatre,
Actors Playhouse, Barrow Street Theater, Minetta Lane Theater, P.S.
122, and The Village Theater. FringeNYC is a production of The Present
Company, under the leadership of Producing Artistic Director Elena K.
Holy.

In 1997, New York City became the seventh US city to host a fringe
festival, joining Seattle, Chicago, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Houston,
Orlando and San Francisco. In its first 13 years FringeNYC has
presented over 2100 performing groups from the U.K., Canada, Poland,
Ireland, Japan, China, Singapore, Germany, the Czech Republic and
across the U.S., prompting Switzerland's national daily, The New
Zurich Zeitung, to declare FringeNYC as “the premiere meeting ground
for alternative artists.” The festival has also been the launching pad
for numerous Off-Broadway and Broadway transfers, long-running
downtown hits, and regional theater productions including Urinetown,
Never Swim Alone, Debbie Does Dallas, Dog Sees God, 21 Dog Years, Joys
of Sex, Krapp 39, Dixie’s Tupperware Party, Silence! The Musical, and
Matt & Ben as well as movies (WTC View) and even a TV show (‘da Kink
in My Hair).
