Orlando Fringe Announces New Development Coordinator

Today Orlando Fringe announced Lisa Hardt as the organization's new Development Coordinator, filling the position left vacant by Tommi Pritchett who left Fringe last month.

Originally from Virginia Beach, Lisa received a BFA in Stage Management from Virginia Commonwealth University. She has lived in Orlando for the past six years, working at Orlando Shakes first as their Assistant Production Manager and then their Development Coordinator since 2016. Lisa also works as a freelance stage manager in the Central Florida theatre community.

"She is wonderfully energetic and excited to fill the role Tommi built up so skillfully," said Orlando Fringe Executive Director Alauna Friskics.

"I am so excited to take the next step in my career and join the Orlando Fringe family!" said Hardt. "I am a huge fan of the Fringe, and the Festival is something I look forward to each year. I cannot wait to grow with this incredible company."

Lisa officially begins her career with Orlando Fringe on October 1, as she completes some projects currently in the works at Orlando Shakes.

The Orlando Fringe produces The Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival, the longest running Fringe in the United States. It is a member of the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals (CAFF), United States Association of Fringe Festivals (USAFF) and the World Fringe Association and follows the CAFF mandate to remain 100% unjuried, 100% uncensored, 100% accessible for artists and audiences alike, with 100% of ticket sales given back to the artists.
