Through Fire and Water 1903

With the slogan “Theatre In These Trying Times”, the 25th edition of the festival has set out to breathe fresh air into both the world of theatre and to theatre lovers with a programme of mostly new productions that look at the world, which is in search of a new normal, through the lens of theatre.

Team Sunshine Performance Corporation, known for their previous FringeArts' production ¡BIENVENIDOS BLANCOS! or WELCOME WHITE PEOPLE!, comes to High Pressure Fire Service with the world premiere of THE SINCERITY PROJECT #3 (2019). The new devised theatre work runs from June 4 through June 8, 2019.

The Berserker Residents, Philadelphia's original comedic production company that create shows that spring from improvisation and curiosity, present the world premiere of a new work that's perfect for family members of all ages. BROCCOLI, ROOSEVELT AND MR. HOUSE! takes to the FringeArts stage this April 12-14, 2019, part of High Pressure Fire Service.

FringeArts kicks off their new High Pressure Fire Service Festival that celebrates Philadelphia artists and creators starting March 1. High Pressure Fire Service features some of Philadelphia's preeminent performers as they addresses issues of representation, gender, accessibility, reproductive justice, and more through devised theater, comedy, and participatory play.

Today FringeArts President and Producing Director Nick Stuccio and Artistic Producers Katy Dammers and Zach Blackwood announced the programming for two new FringeArts festivals. Blue Heaven presents twelve distinct comedy acts over two days this February 1 and 2. High Pressure Fire Service runs from March through June and features six new productions-five world premieres and one expanded remount-from some of Philadelphia's preeminent performers. These exciting new platforms expand FringeArts' already rich roster of programming-the flagship fall Fringe Festival, contemporary circus festival Hand to Hand, and year-round music, comedy, and cabaret performances-and further its mission to present world-class, contemporary performing arts that challenge convention and inspire new ways of thinking.
