Do you Fringe? Come and experience our annual festivals and the IndyFringe Basile Theatre in downtown Indianapolis! Mission The festival takes place in the Massachusetts Avenue Arts and Cultural District providing accessible, inexpensive opportunities for audiences to partake in the Indianapolis arts community. IndyFringe returns 100% of festival admission revenue to the performers. The l00 seat IndyFringe Basile Theatre serves as a low cost rehearsal and performance space in a city which has very few such amenities. The theatre offers a year round eclectic mix of emerging artists, new plays, established theatre groups, returning Fringe performers and community events which continually change and attract a diverse audience. The theatre is one of the five theatres and seven stages on Massachussets Avenue which host the annual IndyFringe festival. In the three years since the IndyFringe Theatre began 20,325 people have attended shows or events. The theatre has hosted 120 productions and events including plays, spoken world, art exhibitions, community meetings and fundraising events. IndyFringe has given rise to such companies as Intimate Opera Company, PaperStrangers, Half/Black Productions, Avenging Orange, No Holds Bard, Funny About That, T.I.F.F. Productions and more, expanding the number of artistic voices contributing to Indianapolis culture and community.
