The fringe has long prided itself on the fact that it welcomes anyone with a story to tell and a venu willing to hoast them. Fringe of color, an organization founded in two thousand and 18 runs a date base of shows where at least half of the performercs are black or people of color. Some institutions such as pleasants now offer funding opportunities to artists. It's incredibly rare to break even, unless you're kind of a sol artist going on your own. I spoke to mina hammed, a young british theatre producer, and she told me about the challenges of setling up ta show this year. Thats the really big thing about fringe,
