Pelham Fringe
Get involved
Pelham Fringe runs all year. Writers hear work aloud, actors stretch, directors experiment, and new collaborations form. Events are completely free and open to the creative community.
If you write, perform, direct, design, or want to help run a show, come to an event and tell us what you do and how you can help.
The room is open
These are the 23 areas Pelham Fringe needs hands in. Experience helps but is not required. Pick the one that sounds like you and say so.

Submitting work
Pelham Fringe does not currently run an open submission round.
The best way into the work is to show up in the room: come to a Creative Night, get inspired, meet collaborators, and make something with us.
We do welcome short writing samples or excerpts of no more than 10 pages for consideration. But Pelham Fringe is built around participation, process, and the work that grows out of being in the room together.
Join the mailing list to hear about upcoming Creative Nights, labs, and opportunities to get involved.
