\u201cWe are proud to contribute to the Fringe Festival\u2019s diverse range of innovative performances,\u201d says University President Joel Seligman. \u201cIn just a short time this festival has become a key event in Rochester\u2019s cultural schedule. We are delighted to participate in what is becoming one of the area\u2019s most anticipated arts and entertainment events.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ student-sponsored shows range from a laptop orchestra featuring local elementary school students, to After Hours A Cappella, and Diversity of Dance, which showcases performers from seven of the University\u2019s dance clubs and students from the program of dance and movement.

Established in 2009 by Erica Fee, a 1999 graduate of the University who previously worked with the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland, the festival has since doubled in size.<\/p>\n

\u201cRochester’s rich arts community has helped to make ours the largest multi-arts festival in New York State,\u201d says Fee. \u201cThe University plays a huge part in this success, not just with its support, but also with the wonderful productions that its talented faculty and students contribute to Fringe.\u201d<\/p>\n

The festival’s board of directors includes representatives from Boylan Code LLP, the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ and its Eastman School of Music, Rochester Institute of Technology, George Eastman House, Geva Theatre Center, Method Machine, Mengel Metzger Barr, PUSH Physical Theater, and the City of Rochester.<\/p>\n

There are more than 200 fringe festivals worldwide, including 20 in the United States, with festivals closest to Rochester in Toronto and Philadelphia. Last year’s Fringe Festival in Rochester was attended by more than 50,000 people.<\/p>\n
