Tickets are now on sale for the 14th annual Philly Fringe, which runs in conjunction with the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival from September 3 - 18. The Philly Fringe will host 183 artists or companies performing 188 shows in venues throughout Philadelphia for the largest Fringe in festival history, topping 2009's record breaking number of productions. The 2010 Fringe line-up will include theater, dance, comedy, performance art, music, poetry, puppetry, visual art, and work that incorporates multiple genres and disciplines, offering audiences the excitement of discovering new work from the region's vibrant performing arts community as well as artists from around the country.
Many other local Festival favorites will be returning for this year's Fringe including IdRatherBeHere, the company behind the sold-out Wawapalooza series ('07-'09). This year, the company will present the next chapter in the parody series, the World premiere of Wawapalooza 4: Damaged Goods. After 180 performances across the nation, Iron Age Theatre will make their homecoming with Marx in Soho. The Idiopathic Ridiculopathy Consortium, Luna Theater Company, Madhouse Theater Company, Plays & Players, and Tribe of Fools, will also be among this year's returning favorites.
