FRINGE APPLICATION IS AVAILABLE
Is your favorite time of year Fringe Time? Yup. Us, too. That’s why we’re very excited to bring you this news: the 2010 MN Fringe application is up and ready for your downloadingness.
A few things:
- Unfortunately, the application fee didn’t magically disappear. Fortunately, it didn’t go up. You’ll still have to pay $25 for a numbered ping pong ball.
- You have until 5pm on January 29th to get your app in.
- The MN Fringe is introducing some enhanced producer education options this year. A little something called First Steps will match Fringe newbies with a more experienced production company to help them “win-the-Fringe” (copyright John Heimbuch). A little something called Next Steps will provide support for companies looking to let go of the nookie blanky and produce outside of the Fringe. Both programs will snag participants from a pool of eligible companies via (what else) a lottery.
- There is now a “tour application”. Two companies (assuming two companies apply for this) will be lottery-selected to participate in a four-city Midwest Fringe Tour Circuit. Kansas City, Indianapolis, Minnesota, and Chicago are the four cities. One application, four fringes, you, and your insanity.
- The BYOVs have been scaled down to a maximum of four slots. And these bad-boys are now due at the same time as the general application. Good job, Fringe.
That’s it for now. Fill out that application and start writing your totally awesome werewolf/vampire/Good Fellas adaptation of The Master Builder.
