In September 2020 EXIT Theatre will be streaming interviews and performance excerpts to celebrate the San Francisco Fringe Festival and to promote the 2021 festival. FRINGE SNEAK PEEK will be streamed live at Facebook.com/EXITTheatreSF/live at:7pm on Sunday September 13
7pm Tuesday September 15
7pm Thursday September 17
7pm Friday September 18, and

The FRINGE SNEAK PEEK shows will then be available at Facebook.com/EXITTheatreSF/live until the end of September 2020. The shows will be free and donations will be requested with all donations distributed evenly among the FRINGE SNEAK PEEK performing companies.
FRINGE SNEAK PEEK will be streamed from the homes of the EXIT Theatre hosts and the Sneak Peek performers and will be available at Facebook.com/EXITTheatreSF/live. FRINGE SNEAK PEEK is being organized and will be presented by EXIT Theatre volunteers, many furloughed during the pandemic. It will be streamed on Facebook Live using Streamyard software. Donations will be requested during the FRINGE SNEAK PEEK shows with all donations going to the participating theater companies.
The FRINGE SNEAK PEEK and the San Francisco Fringe Festival are produced by EXIT Theatre, a 37 year old San Francisco theater company founded and operating in the Tenderloin neighborhood since 1983. The San Francisco Fringe Festival is an open-access theater festival with performers selected by lottery. Founded by EXIT Theatre in 1992, the San Francisco Fringe Festival is the second oldest fringe festival in the United States and is a member of CAFF (the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals) and USAFF (the United States Association of Fringe Festivals).
