Parking Info:
Booking Information:Bloomfield Garfield Corporation will not be doing the individual booking. Pittsburgh Fringe will be helping coordinating the individual artists. So please contact the Pittsburgh Fringe for booking requests.
About the space: There is already a small pre-existing raised stage. We will also designate the area in front as the stage area. Artists can place chairs as needed (in front of stage, on three sides of center of room, etc.). There are large windows without drapes that let in a lot of light, so only after about 7pm will lights be necessary. Space will be set up very simply because we have to move out for another event on Saturday, and set back up for Sunday. If your show is in the evening, you may not end up with a rehearsal with the same lighting conditions. (Note: some of the pictures may have more equipment then will be available this year.) Seating capacity can be small or large depending on how many seats you put out. Lighting: Natural light through windows, and overhead lighting. If more lighting is required, please talk with us before booking. Sound: Small very basic PA type set up. Email: [email protected] |
Your Great Idea:Penn Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15---
Have an idea for a fun location? Fringe's are known for having cool site specific shows! Have an idea, or looking for something specific? Email us to start the conversation!
We travel to fringe's all around and we've seen shows in pools, camping tents, cars (pretty popular actually), campers, bathrooms, elevators, shipping containers, bouncy castles, salons, restaurants (including and not including food), and even a musical in a hot tub. You name it, it could work! These types of shows often garner a lot of press attention too - so think about it! |
