Big news today, Fringers.
Fringe Central has been secured for 2019, and will be housed at The La-La Land Gallery (6450 Santa Monica Boulevard), in the heart of Theatre Row.
Fringe Central is the rallying point for the festival: a social hub for artists and audience members alike. A place where you can interact with Fringe staff, buy tickets and merchandise at Fringe Concierge, hear about what’s hot from fellow Fringers, make those truly special Fringeships, and grab a drink at the infamous Bryan’s Bar. We’ll have many more details in the coming weeks about Fringe Central, so watch this space.
