Fringe Fort Myers

The third annual Fringe Fort Myers runs May 29 – June 1, 2025. Ahead of the opening “Flamingle with the Artists” at the Alliance for the Arts, we talk with one of this year’s nine featured performers, Dawn Truax, about her one-woman show “Genius, Madness and Murder: Tales of the Scandalous Family of John Wilkes Booth.”

Stage 2 Improv is one of nine performers taking part in the 3rd Annual Fringe Fort Myers. The troupe is looking forward to shows on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in the Foulds Theatre at the Alliance for the Arts, plus a 5-to-7-minute preview following Thursday evening's Flamingle reception.

This week, two shows open, four close and five continue their runs, and there are two limited engagements at Southwest Florida equity and community theaters.

Fringe returns to Fort Myers next month. As in the past, this year’s Fringe Fort Myers will feature nine shows. But this year, shows will only be performed in the Foulds Theatre at the Alliance for the Arts and the Off Broadway Palm at Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre.

Sometimes there's more drama backstage at a burlesque show than on the boards. That's why Carousel of Burlesque creators Pixel Winters and Freckles Galore are taking audiences "behind the curtain" at this year's Fringe Fort Myers.

The second annual Fringe Fort Myers returns May 30 – June 2. The four-day festival includes a wide array of performances from independent, experimental and alternative artists from all over the world. We get a preview from festival organizer and founder Bill Taylor. We also hear from featured performer Keith Alessi about the true experiences that inspired his one-man show “Tomatoes Tried To Kill Me But Banjoes Saved My Life.”

The inaugural Fringe Fort Myers runs June 1-4 at the Alliance for the Arts and Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre. We’ll get a preview of the variety array of performance artists from all over the world who will be featured in a conversation with festival organizer Bill Taylor.

Southwest Florida will be getting its own fringe festival with Fringe Fort Myers coming June 1-4, 2023. Performance venues for the festival include the Alliance for the Arts and Broadway Palm Dinner Theatre. Artists have until Dec. 12 to apply, and participants will be chosen via a lottery on Dec. 19.
