Looking for something out-of-the-ordinary to do this week in New Orleans? Then you have to take in Fringe Fest, an avant-garde arts theater festival. What better place than New Orleans, a city that embraces the unique, to host a festival that highlights the weird, the fresh…the, um, unique?
This year’s Fringe Fest runs from November 17 – 21 in venues throughout New Orleans, although most are in the Bywater or Marigny neighborhoods. These performances aren’t for your more mainstream venues like the Mahalia Jackson Theatre or the Le Petit Theatre. No, performers for Fringe Fest appear in theaters, art galleries, warehouse performance spaces, even a church! The performance lineup offers something for anyone (and everyone) who is interested in theater and includes musical theater, musical comedy, drama and spoken word pieces.
For a complete lineup, check out the Fringe Festival website.
