PURCHASING TICKETS AND FW FRINGE BUTTONS:
Every ticket purchased at the FW Fringe comes with an FW Fringe button. These buttons can be taken to our FW Fringe Button Sponsors. Local businesses that have agreed to offer a discount to anyone who visits their business during the duration of the Fringe. – EVERY TICKET REQUIRES a button.

 

PERFORMANCE TIMES:
When it’s time for each performance, ushers will open the doors and collect your tickets. In The Gallery, the ushers will guide you to the performance space as soon as the last performance in the space ends.
Because of the layout of the two performance spaces, late seating would cause distraction to both the audience and the performers. Because of this, there is absolutely no late seating. Please arrive at the theatre at least 15 – 30 minutes before your show time to allow time for parking and picking up tickets.
POST PERFORMANCE:
Due to short transition times between acts in every space – the audience will be asked to exit the space As Quickly As Possible so the next company can prepare and the festival remain on time. Performers will gather in the Sanders lobby area after every performance should you want to visit with the performers.
