Registration Now Open for 2014 Hollywood Fringe Festival

Registration opened over the weekend for the fifth annual Hollywood Fringe Festival (www.hollywoodfringe.org). Organizers are calling for artists and producers of the performing arts to join the celebrated event returning to central Hollywood this June. Registrations must be completed by April 1st in order to be included in the printed Fringe Guide. Producers wishing to register after the April deadline will still be able to sell tickets through the festival's website.

Registration is a three-step process completed through the Festival's website (read all about the registration process) that begins with the creation of a project page. Registration costs $250, except for free shows or shows with only a single performance (which receive a discounted registration of $175). Registration fees pay for a listing in Fringe materials and many other benefits. There are no restrictions regarding genre, content, or length for the festival; specifics are left to participants and venues to determine.

Persons wishing to learn more about registering for the festival should attend the organization's Town Hall and Workshop series which also kicked off over the weekend. Those unable to attend in person can watch the recordings, which will be released on the Fringe's YouTube channel and the Fringe blog a few days after each event.

The Festival will take place June 12-29, 2014 with a week of previews the week before (June 5-10th). Performances are staged in venues throughout central Hollywood. The location for Fringe Central, the social hub of the Fringe, will be announced in the coming weeks.
