Capital Fringe—the nonprofit theatre and performance organization that puts on the city’s annual Fringe Festival—is looking to expand and find a new permanent space.
According to a release, the organization says they’re looking to spend between $3-5 million on a new 10,000-15,000 sq. ft. collective space “to allow artists to create and produce during the early stages of their careers.” The new space, Capital Fringe says, will be open seven days a week and won’t be run by a single production group, but rather described as a “fluid, evolving art facility used for experimentation and self-expression.
Additionally, Capital Fringe says the space will also feature a bar/café, art gallery, three black box theatres, and a shop, as well as host live music, film screenings, monthly gatherings, and discussions.
Currently, Capital Fringe’s current location at 607 New York Avenue NW is slated to be redeveloped sometime this year, so it’s looking to move fast in finding a new permanent home.
