Chicago Fringe Festival Schedule Announced

By Chicagotheaterbeat @chitheaterbeat

Tickets are on sale for the Second Annual Fringe Festival, September 1-11, including such groups as Maximum Verbosity, Phil the Void and Hobo Junction. These are not the names of race horses or yachts. They are three of the 50 performance groups that will entertain, inspire and delight audiences during the second annual Chicago Fringe Festival, taking place September 1st through 11th in the Pilsen neighborhood.

The year’s theme, On the Map, Under the Radar, expresses that Chicago Fringe has carved out a strong identity as part of the worldwide Fringe theater movement, yet remains committed to flying under the radar, offering audiences uncensored, unconventional theatrical experiences.
