Nancy Duncan asked me to forward this to you!

The organizers of the sixth annual Philadelphia Fringe Festival are
conducting a search for risk-taking, boundary-breaking artists. Centered
in Old City, last year's 16-day festival brought in 35,000 attendees. This
year the festival will take place on August 30 - September 14, 2002.

Artists can participate in two ways: through the adjudicated Fringe or by
producing their own work in the Unfiltered Fringe. Applications are due
February 28th, 2002. Daring presentations with artistic promise will be
chosen by diverse panels of artists and arts administrators. Unfiltered
artists have until May 31st, 2002 to send in their participation form.

The City Paper said that the Fringe is like "a circus that magically appears
and disappears each year."
