The Fringe Festival 2016

Because the Acts of Faith gets so many requests from faith communities, professional, and non-professional theatres each year to be a part of the festival, and because there are only three slots in the Associate Theatre category, we created the "Fringe" festival.  This way we can include as many shows and communities as wants to carry on the conversation of story and faith.
