Summary

The Free Fringe happens every Thursday at 10pm at the Hideout. It is also free to attend, and features experimental and risky formats.

The show is concept-driven, rather than troupe-driven. The Hideout accepts online submissions for show concepts, and picks several to showcase each week.

In 2013, perhaps due to a paucity of such submissions, the Hideout moved to a headliner model, with two experimental formats followed by a monthly headlining troupe.

Many of the experiments put up for the Free Fringe have met with unexpected success and become recurring shows.

History

The Fringe premiered on 1/5/12, shortly after Parallelogramophonograph travelled to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and is patterned after that festival's own Free Fringe.[1]
