Fringe with Benefits is a community dedicated to strengthen relationships between adventurous artists and adventurous audiences. Member support enables us to further our mission, present special events and new programming, and celebrate the performing arts. Membership options allow you to choose your own adventure and include a tax-deductible donation.
Benefits vary by membership type and include a combination of the following:
- Private Facebook Group - Chat with fellow Fringe'rs to share show insights, early access to preview night lists, and get quick answers directly from Fringe staff in our members-only forum.
- Behind the Curtain Newsletter - Quarterly behind-the-scenes updates on all things Fringe crafted especially for members, donors, and sustainers.
- Fringe Button - The Fringe button is your entry to the festival that also provides access to year-round theater deals and discounts, plus it's a souvenir button made especially just for Fringe with Benefits members!
- Fringe Merch - To celebrate 31 years of Fringe Festivals, we're offering members 24% off everything in the Fringe Merch in 2024 now through June 30. Feel free to fly your Fringey Flag and flaunt your Fringe Flare in time for the Festival.
- Five Fifths- Tickets to Fringe's annual community fundraiser commissioning 5 Fringe artists / companies to adapt one-fifth of a well-known film, to mash them all together in fine Fringe fashion on May 6, 2024. Recent adaptations have included Jurassic Park, The Matrix, Mary Poppins, Star Wars: A New Hope, and Back to the Future.
- Early Online Access - Early access to the Festival website so you can peruse shows and make reservations to see your Fringe favorites or discover the 'it' show before the general public.
- Five Show Pass - Entry to any five shows in the 2024 Minnesota Fringe Festival for you or for your friends.
- V.I.P. Pass - Access to any show, on any day, at any time, in any venue during the 31st annual Minnesota Fringe Festival reserved for our most Valued Intrepid Patrons. (55 maximum shows)
