MISSION STATEMENT::

The Cambridge Alternative Fringe Festival, which begins this year, 2010, is a way for independent theatre producers to combine resources and reach broader audiences.

The theater artists of the Cambridge Alternative Fringe Festival do not rehash contemporary plays or musicals. All of the pieces featured at the Cambridge Alternative Fringe Festival are premieres performed by local talent who do not have a regular venue to showcase their art. You never know, you may see the first production of the next "Wicked"... or you could very well witness a play about potatoes growing!

Cambridge Alternative Fringe Festival Mission Statement
The mission of the Cambridge Alternative Fringe Festival is to support new and innovative performing artists by showcasing their creative works in a professional environment. The Cambridge Alternative Fringe Festival is designed to bring attention to downtown Cambridge and to promote it as an exciting centre of entertainment and culture. The Cambridge Alternative Fringe Festival seeks to introduce audiences to shows that they would not have the opportunity to see elsewhere and to build an audience base for emerging artists.

The key feature of the Cambridge Alternative Festival Fringe is that it is an open-access arts event. This means that no single individual or committee determines who can or cannot perform on the Fringe. It is in this spirit that we wish to build on the Fringe experience.
