Fringe Benefits
Our Fringe Benefits series is a special opportunity to present plays that might not qualify for a main stage production, either because of cast size, subject matter, or other criteria. Fringe Benefits lets us offer exciting performing and directing opportunities to our members and exceptional entertainment to our audiences in addition to our usual season. It also helps us to raise money for Park Playhouse Renovation.
