Project Overview
We will hold a week long theater festival in Livingston, MT. During this week 10-15 performances will take place. They will be housed in traditional and nontraditional spaces, for example bookstores, bars, storefronts, lobbies, etc. We are partnering with The Cottonwood Club which will also be holding events during the same week.
Our festival follows the tradition of the Fringe, originating in Edinburgh in 1947. Meaning we will focus on original works by up-and-coming creatives. In the spirit of Fringe, the artists tell us what to put on. This is space to let your creativity run wild (fun!). We are interested in all performance based pieces. This can include plays, musicals, one person shows, cabarets, monologues, puppetry, movement, one-man-bands and anything you can think of.
Due to finite resources we are unable to accept all submissions.

Keep In Mind
Tech is very limited. We are working to raise money for a small stipend and to partner with local arts organizations for resources. More details on this to come. In the meantime, I encourage you to plan your piece around your own resources. For example, if you have the ability to build a fabulous set that can be loaded in and out in an afternoon, hell yeah! We would love that! Unfortunately, we cannot build that for you at this time.
A detailed list of what the festival does provide will be sent with acceptance letters. Please reach out with any and all questions!
