Photography from "The Warriors' Duet" Rehearsal

Bring the amazing Rich Soublet in to take some rehearsal pictures with beautiful performers like Matt Carney and Sam Ginn, combine that with the choreography of Anne Gehman, and you get incredible results.  Check it out below, and be moved by Rich's photography. These graceful images only begin to crack the surface of how incredible this piece is going to be:  

We love you Rich.  

"The Warriors' Duet" is selling fast.  With only 3 performances and 40 seats per-show, we believe there is a good chance that one or more of the performances will sell out before we even make it to the Fringe Festival.  Visit the Fringe site HERE to make sure you do not miss the beautiful work of Anne Gehman, and the stunning words of Charlene Baldridge and Laura Jeanne Morefield. 

An Open Letter to Potential Fringe Festival Volunteers!

Dear San Diego, Hello! My name is Soroya and I am the Volunteer Coordinator for the First Annual San Diego Fringe Festival.  I am also one of the performers.  A fringe festival is when a bunch of Performing Arts Companies get together and put on a butt-load of short pieces of 60 minutes or less.  The performances tend to be “on the fringe” compared to more conventional works.  Our festival includes theatre, dance, improv, magic, stand-up, puppetry, circus and live music by companies from all over California, America and THE WORLD including companies from England, Canada and Mexico.

All proceeds from ticket sales go straight to the artists.  This means that the producers and staff for this event must be 100% volunteer.  This is where YOU come in.  I need you.  WE need you! The performing arts in San Diego need you!!!  You can play the role of Box Office, Usher, House Manager,  Flyer-passer-outer and More! It will be super fun and rewarding.  You will get to mix and mingle with the artists and your fellow volunteers, you will be a part of history in the making and you will get free stuff!

Here is a breakdown of all the Free Stuff you can get.  It varies depending on how many shifts you work.  Each shift ranges between 3-8 hours and I will work with you to make sure you are happy with your schedule.

FREE STUFF BREAK DOWN

Work 1 shift and you get a Free Fringe T-Shirt!

Work 2 shifts and you get Free Shows! Any volunteer on the 2 shifts or more list, gets to walk into shows at the Main Fringe Venues.  This includes 10^th Avenue, Space 4 Art and New School of Architecture.  Subject to availability.

Work 3 shifts you get a Free Fringe Club Dog Tag which gains you access to our bar on the roof of the 10th Avenue Theatre.  This Fringe Club is going to be the coolest spot to hang out with its beautiful view and fun line up of musical acts and open mic nights!

Signing up is easy.  Just go to our online Volunteer Registration Form here: http://www.sdfringe.org/volunteer_registration.html

Patrick Kelly on the San Diego Fringe Festival!

Hi Everyone,

We wanted to take this week to talk about the exciting event hitting the streets of San Diego this July: The FIRST EVER San Diego Fringe Festival!  

If you aren't a Theatre person, you may ask "What is a Fringe Festival?"  Well Fringe festival's first started in Edinburgh, Scotland by small groups that were not accepted into their annual theater festival.  This outsider- festival ended up growing to become a staple around the world; providing a spotlight for the some of the most interesting experimental performances for over 40 years.  We are now working hard to help bring this international experience to you.

This first ever San Diego Event will host artists from throughout the country, the UK, and Canada.  It will also be bringing a little bit more exposure to our already vibrant arts community.  We have over 50 artists scheduled to entertain you from July 1st - July 7th in over 10 venues centered in East Village.  Local artists include the incredible Animal Cracker Conspiracy,  Break-through Theatre Workshop's production of "Dear Harvey" and of course Circle is presenting Charlene Baldrige's beautiful piece: "The Warriors' Duet" directed by Anne Gehman and Katherine Harroff.  All ticket proceeds go to the artist themselves!

You also have the ability to join the artists for drinks and additional entertainment at Fringe Central on the roof of the 10th Avenue theatre.  Artistic Director Katherine Harroff is hosting the social/central location for the festival and promises great entertainment, drinks, company, and fun fringe-ness for all.

Make sure that you don't miss out on this wonderful festival and get your tickets today at www.sdfringe.org.
