Over the past five years IndyFringe performers have been accommodated in private homes in Lockerbie, St Joseph , Cottage Homes and further afield.  Artists from around the world and around the US have formed strong friendships with their host families.   This year we need more host families.

The ten days of IndyFringe performances represents artists who crisscross many different cultural, economic, and social backgrounds.  Most are not artists by profession – they’re lawyers or marketing executives or waiters or homemakers – people who don’t travel ordinarily in the world of Theater Makers. 

Fringe festivals provide them a once-in-a–lifetime chance to take the stage and tell their stories, whether that’s one woman’s story of finding her long lost father, or a fairy tale (Hansel and Gretel) combined with autobiography which evolves into a touching drama bringing the view point of a girl telling her family story, touching identity issues, immigration, parents-kid's conflicts and more. 

IndyFringe is here to facilitate that creation by bringing together hundreds of artists in a festival setting, providing production services to (mostly) inexperienced producers, and gathering audiences to immerse themselves in the wide-ranging performance that ensues. That’s what makes us a fringe.

You can help us all by inviting a performing into your home between August l9 and August 29.   Performers require very little … and for those host families it has been a rewarding experience.   IndyFringe will provide host families with 2 x VIP tickets to the festival.
