Secret Theatre Announces First Annual UNFringed Festival, 8/1-24

By:

Long Island City's Secret Theatre will play host to the 1st Annual UNFringed Festival, from August 1st to 24th.

UNFringed offers the stage to daring new works from passionate artists who aren't afraid to push the boundaries. Show us your Dada, your pure form; your absurd or your ridiculous; your futurism, surrealism, expressionism, symbolism, whateverism. All kinds of works are accepted, as long as they're unhinged, unabashed, unbelievable, UNFringed.

The Secret Theatre has been Long Island City's home for all things theater, music, opera, improv and dance since 2005. Recently dubbed "One of NYC's best theater spots" by Time Out: New York, the multi-faceted space has garnered a growing reputation thanks to the close-knit community of creators within Long Island City, an area that is quickly becoming a central hub for the arts in all five boroughs.

UNFringed embodies the adventurous and collaborative spirit of the Long Island City community, the outer-borough exile of the uncompromising artist, and the cultural and ideological diversity of neighborhood, the city, the state, heck, the country and beyond. Come be a part of it!
