The most recent one was in the 2011 Fringe festival.

And what of those acts cut from the fringe festival?

Each man's company lost money on the two previous Fringe festivals.

Both fringe festivals provide free events and are seen as a less formal alternative to the main festival.

The fringe festival was scheduled to occur annually across the first two weeks of August each year.

Fringe festivals - hosting theater and other cultural events - take place worldwide.

A schedule of other Fringe Festival shows and their theaters can be found at www.fringenyc.com.

We saw a couple of really great plays at the fringe festival last year, so we're definitely planning to go again this year.

The mechanics of a Fringe festival are fairly simple.

It is still used as a venue during the Fringe festival every August.
