San Francisco Fringe Festival

The San Francisco Fringe Festival, or SF Fringe, is a fringe theater festival produced by the EXIT Theatre in San Francisco. It is one of the oldest fringe festivals in the United States. It takes place over the course of two weeks every September; the 2018 Festival will take place September 6–15.
Performances featured at SF Fringe are chosen by lottery. The 2017 festival featured about 150 performances by more than 35 theater companies, performing in three small theater venues. General 2018 applications ended on February 14, but the San Francisco Fringe Festival will still accept applications until April 1 to perform additional site specific work in Non Traditional Fringe Venue (NTFV), which have included "bars and restaurants, on buses, park benches and trees. Audience members are encouraged to write about and review shows through the EXIT Theatre website, or through official Android or iOS mobile applications. Many of the shows feature mature themes or nudity.
The conclusion of the festival features additional performances by shows chosen as the "Best of the Fringe".
