The Pre-Fringe Radio Play Series

the Indyish present:
the Pre-Fringe Radio Play Podcast Series.
An open submission podcast series for the Pre-Fringe season!
Part of Indyish’s contribution to this year’s Montreal Fringe Festival

If you have a recorded version of one of your plays - a bit of comedy or drama, a musical or experimental narrative, or just a story - send it along! We’ll post it in the Pre-Fringe stream on our brand new Indyish Podcast.

The Fringe Fests are a happy hatching breeding ground for artists. Having exposed my youthful theatrics to the Fringe at the tender and regretably “conceptual” age of 18… and then again at 20… I remember the spirit of the Fringe very clearly: the feeling of many people with varied artistic interests, skills and experience being ok with each other trying new things out, celebrating and supporting everything this might mean. I’d like to extend that spirit .. in POD form!

Send submissions to fringe @ indyish.com, or via FTP, or a service like Yousendit.com. If you’re not sure how to get your work to us, just send an email and we’ll help, ok?

The series is already rolling! Check out Indyish.com/Podcast!

A note on the Fringe, from the Canadian Association of Fringe Festivals:
Caff -

Canada enjoys more Fringe Festivals than any other country in the world and each Festival is a leader in the development of theatre artists and audiences in their community. The “Canadian Fringe Model” (where for an application fee the festival provides the artists with a venue, technician, festival associated publicity and 100% of the ticketed admission price) and the North American Fringe Touring Circuit are also considered by many national and international artists to be the most unique of its kind as no other country provides such a network of festivals where this type of support is offered.

For the artists, the Fringe provides an unequalled opportunity to bring to light new and innovative works or rarely staged classics. It is also a forum for local artists to mingle and exchange ideas with members of the national and international theatre community. For many groups the Fringe has brought overnight success with productions being scouted and remounted by numerous established companies such as Mirvish Production, The World Stage Festival, Magnetic North and the High Performance Rodeo. Fringe artists have also gone on to win numerous prestigious awards such as the Chalmers Award and the Governor Generals Award for Theatre.

Submission to the Pre Fringe series is open until June 2007 for radio dramas on any subject, from anywhere in the world.
