ReplyDeleteWhat do we need to be considered eligible to submit an application (besides a show)? I guess I'm asking, how is "company" defined in terms of being able to submit a proposal?
ReplyDeleteJosh - you don't need to be incorporated or anything like that. You could be a solo performer, or a random group of people. No limits really. Sorry for the jargon-y term.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Thinking about coming by tonight to get more info. Thank you for the prompt responses!
ReplyDeleteStill hoping lots and lots that you don't decide shows need to be 60 minutes or less... :D
ReplyDeleteExcited about this new Fringe!!!
Hey Amy - for the first year, we are going to stick with the 60 minutes :( Sorry dear! Everything in moderation. But I do hope you will apply and help us be a smash in year #1 so we can have the longer slots in year #2 :)
