About FRINGEPVD: The Providence Fringe Festival
Founded in 2014 by Wilbury Theatre Group, FringePVD brings together more than four hundred individual theatre, music, dance, multimedia and performing artists for two weeks of performances in and around the Valley neighborhood of Providence, while keeping the online performance series established during the COVID-19 pandemic.
"As FringePVD enters its 12th year, we're excited to continue our work including even more partners and community members across the Valley Arts District," said Wilbury Theatre Group's Artistic Director, Josh Short. "This year, not only are we seeing a 40% increase in performances, we're expanding with a new venue on Atwells Avenue and the Providence Drum Troupe Clubhouse) as well as an additional stage at 50 Sims. Since its earliest days, the festival has allowed us to connect with audience members from Rhode Island and beyond, provide stages for artists from across the country to perform and come together and showcase all the gems in our neighborhood that make the diversity and community of Providence so special."
