City Paper Best of PGH
Pittsburgh Virtual Fringe Festival was SECOND PLACE for Best Virtual Event!!!!

With our quick turn to virtual after a last minute cancelation of our early April festival, and planning an entirely new festival in less than a month, we managed to get SECOND place for the Best Virtual Event in Pittsburgh!!!  This is an amazing award to get after having to pull it together so fast!  

We want to thank all the performers, who learned how to go virtual and even created new shows in less than one month.  Our performers and staff really put in a lot of effort to make this happen, and we want to Thank You all so much!!!!

There were almost 600,000 people who voted, so this is really amazing!!!  Thank you!!!
