XPN Welcomes The Philadelphia Live Arts and Philly Fringe Festival
The Philadelphia Live Arts and Philly Fringe Festival runs from August 29 –
September 13, 2008. Tickets for most shows cost between $10 and $25. The Philadelphia Live Arts Festival features performances by acclaimed
contemporary dance and theater artists who are selected and invited to the
Festival by Producing Director, Nick Stuccio. While some Live Arts artists
are based in Philadelphia, many come from other parts of the U.S. and from
around the world. The Philly Fringe is the "unfiltered" portion of the
festival, where new and established artists of all kinds may choose to
present their own work, free of a selection process. Together, the
Philadelphia Live Arts Festival and Philly Fringe bring audiences sixteen
days of the most stimulating, provocative new art being created in
Philadelphia, across the U.S., and around the world.
