Letter to “Women on the Fringe” & Fringe Femmes

Congrats on your show and thanks for finding us!

We’re looking forward to working with you to promote you and your show and connect you to other Fringe Femmes.

Hope to see you at the LAFPI Fringe Femmes Mixer: 7-9pm Thursday, June 20th at Fringe Central! 

Our Mixers during the Fringe have given us the chance each year to raise a glass in cheers to the Femmes who Fringe!

We’re always grateful to our HFF partners for giving us space to come together and celebrate Fringe Femmes, and all of the amazing work created by female-identifying and nonbinary participants.

This year we’ll be featuring (mini) Micro-Reads! (1 pg, 200 words or less from your Fringe show to be read by others)

But you don’t have to be part of HFF24 to come and connect – just show up!

More info here: lafpi.com/events

Will be great to reconnect to the amazing artists we met at our Virtual Happy Hour Gathering in May! 

Here’s What You Do Next…

Submit for Women on the Fringe:

Each year, we feature select HFF shows as part of  Women on the Fringe.

If your show is written by a woman, nonbinary or femme-identifying artist (or at least 50% female if multiple writers), we’ll be glad to include it! Submit your show by using this link: https://lafpi.com/about/submit-show/ (And remember to check “Women on the Fringe” and send us your graphics!)

Tell ’em You’re With the FPI:

For great cross-promotion, please include our Logo on your programs, websites and materials – flashing the badge makes it quick and easy to take positive action!

Click Here for Downloadable Logos.  (We’ll also try to make sure you’ve got Badges for your venue!)

Connect Through Social Media:

If you haven’t already, find us on Facebook.com/LAFPI. We also have an “LAFPI Fringe Femmes” Facebook Group (helmed by the formidable Constance Strickland!) to act as a discussion/bulletin board.  Join Here!

Really excited about the femme energy the surrounds the Fringe each year and we’re proud to be a part of it. But remember that we’re all volunteers. So if our response to your questions or materials is delayed, we’re working as fast as we can.
