More time. More depth. Same support.
A professionally produced festival for fully realized 30 to 60 minute shows.
Late July to early August.
You asked. We listened.
Artists told us they loved the affordability and support of short form festivals but needed more time to tell a complete story. So we kept the access and expanded the runway. Same model. Longer shows.
What It Is
An open access, low prices, professionally supported theatre festival for complete productions. Not excerpts. Not readings. Real shows with real audiences and real production value.
How We Work
We operate like producing partners, not landlords. Professional venues, smart scheduling, experienced tech support, and coordinated marketing. We handle the logistics so you can focus on the art.
Who It’s For
30 minutes shows looking to expand
Fringe standouts ready to extend
Solo shows scaling up
Ensembles needing a full arc
Touring work testing new markets
Artists preparing for longer runs or transfers
If your show needs room to breathe, this is your next step.
A Bridge After Fringe
Built for work emerging from Denver, San Diego, and Hollywood, this festival helps you extend momentum, add performances, build audiences, and strengthen your piece before the next phase of its life.
Preparing for Edinburgh
Use this festival as your development lab. Expand to a 50 to 60 minute cut, test pacing and tech, gather reviews and media, and arrive overseas confident and tour ready.
What You Receive
