Coming all the way from Brazil, 'El Diablo of the Cards' is traveling 52 countries thrilling audiences with a card magic style that combines improvisation and clown’s madness.
Tampa’s Fringe Festival is gearing up to celebrate its sixth anniversary with nearly 100 shows from 23 companies and a new and improved Kids Fringe–all embracing this year’s theme “Peace. Love. Fringe!”
The festival happens July 28-Aug. 7 at the Hillsborough Community College Performing Arts Center in Ybor City and includes a dedicated Fringe Central room with snacks and beverages.
Attendees can purchase tickets for each show or group passes: three shows, five shows or an all-access Eliminator Pass.
Tampa’s Fringe offers the Bay Area a platform where local and emerging artists and creatives can share their work and afford to take artistic risks. These festivals originated in Scotland in the ‘40s when local artists rebelled against curated art festivals by putting on their own events, coining the term “fringe” festival. Today, Tampa’s own event represents expanded perspectives and a supportive, celebratory environment.
