Due to the brevity of the Fringe Festival, as soon as word of mouth begins to spread about an audience favorite or critical success, many of the productions have concluded their runs.
Presented independently of the Fringe Festival, though the name is used by permission, producer Britt Lafield has gathered the assembled talent for the second annual FringeNYC Encores Series in order to allow favorites from the Fringe to reach a broader audience.
Two downtown venues, the Soho Playhouse and The Bleecker Street Theater, will play host to the Encore Series beginning Aug. 30 and continuing through Sept. 16.
