2019 List of Artists Coming Soon

James Pack/ September 10, 2018/ News/ 0 comments

Yesterday we held our Lottery/Drawing party to choose artists for the festival in January. We used our complicated scientific process of drawing names from a hat, as we have done every year. This year was slightly different from previous years. We have over 60 applicants; a new record for Tucson Fringe. Last year we had 42 applicants, so this is a huge leap for us. Sadly, with a 30% increase in applicants, we could not increase the number of performers chosen by 30%. We have increased the number of performers from 20 to 25 this year. We hope to add more as we continue to grow. We broke another record for the Tucson Fringe this year with the number of applicants from our home town, Tucson. It should be made clear, at this time we do not favor local artists over out of town artists. Everyone has the same opportunity and chances of having their name drawn from the hat.

We almost have our website back together. We have a few more pages to finish but the essentials are working. Sadly we are unable to retrieve our old files including the pages from our past fringe festivals. It is a long story of directories and databases. Our applications are open until September 1. The link is located on the top menu above. We hope to have things back in order soon. We appreciate your patience and if you notice any issues or broken links on our website, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
