What Is Fringe?
Fringe is a national and international phenomenon, with festivals happening in every major city across the globe. And what is Fringe? Fringe performances are one hour or less, low tech, and high on ingenuity. No restrictions are made as to the nature, style, theme or content. All performers are welcome, regardless of professional or amateur status. The result is a festival full of the unexpected.

About The Festival
Theatre Crude Fringe Festival is a two-week event in Oklahoma City showcasing creative and original theatrical artists. With a focus on adventure, Theatre Crude gives patrons an opportunity to explore as many different genres and styles of theatre as possible. The Fringe Festival aims to provide unique perspectives and stretch the definition of theatrical performance.

Theatre Crude Fringe Festival, a performing arts festival based in Oklahoma City, is
celebrating their third year with a record number of productions, artists and performances slated for October 1-10, 2021.

This year’s festival follows a hybrid in-person and virtual model, with all in-person performances taking place at Factory Obscura’s Mix-Tape.

The 10-day festival in Automobile Alley will feature over 45 in-person performances from 13 multidisciplinary artist groups, both local and traveling. Each day of the festival presents festival-goers the opportunity to see a new roster of performances that will include virtual reality, dance, fantasy, mentalism, clown performances and more.

In addition, 7 digital-only productions will be streamed online at the festival’s website.

The festival will take place at Factory Obscura’s performance space at 25 NW 9th Street, providing audiences and artists a full fringe festival experience. Attendees will walk through a secret door and find themselves in a performance space that they likely haven’t seen before.

In-person attendees are encouraged to purchase pass bundles to see 4 or 6 shows during the course of the festival. There is also an unlimited pass option for those who want the flexibility to see as many shows as they like, as many times as they can.
