SHOW TICKETS AT www.sffringe.org or our EXIT Theatre mobile app! A note from our Founder First, Thank You, for supporting the San Francisco Fringe Festival. EXIT Theatre is very proud and grateful to have had the opportunity for the past 27 years to support indie artists in this unique way. As a CAFF member festival, the SF Fringe is an open access event where our performing companies are chosen by lottery. This sometimes surprises people but it works, and a tremendous amount of new and relevant work comes out of the SF Fringe as well as many Bay Area pro- ducing groups who are cornerstones in the indie performing arts culture. We are also proud to say that we return 100% of the ticket price to the Fringe performing companies, which means that indie artists are able to earn money to continue to create their work. So please be sure to see as many shows as possible and help indie arts thrive and survive. Of course this would not be possible without the continued support of our dedicated volunteers, staff, funders, and audience. If you’ve been to an SF Fringe before you’re already familiar with our Tip The Fringe campaign. This is one of the ways we are able to continue to keep the festival going each year, so please be generous and donate what you can. And remember the SF Fringe is just one of the many different events that are on the EXIT stages year round. Come back and be a part of this vibrant, creative and important community, and check us out through- out the year at www.theexit.org Live performance is all about the human connection, realizing we are one together.
