Bring Your Own Venue Options
Be creative when you think of BYOV options: coffee shops, corner bars, living rooms and front porches are all great places for theater. Although we recommend lining up a location near the other Fringe venues, there are no restrictions as long as the venue is in New Orleans city limits. (Remember: There are Fringe-managed venues and BYOV venues. Click here to learn about the difference.)
For more information about the BYOV option, email dennis@nofringe.org.
