ADMISSION COSTS Show tickets can be purchased at one of Fringe's five box offices or online at orlandofringe.ticketleap.com, and range from free to $11. The $10 Fringe button is a required one-time purchase that funds Fringe's operations – all ticket sales go to the shows themselves. Without a button and a ticket, you will not be admitted to ticketed shows.
VENUES The Loch Haven cultural campus is still the main base of operations, but Fringe has spread even further throughout the city this year. Loch Haven Park remains the center for the free fun (including the beer tent, food vendors and outdoor stage) of the Fringe Lawn. The Orange, Yellow, Pink, Brown, Blue, Red and Purple venues are in the Lowndes Shakespeare Center at 812 E. Rollins St. Orlando Museum of Art, 2416 N. Mills Ave., hosts the Gold Venue. The Silver and Green venues are found inside the Orlando Repertory Theater, 1001 E. Princeton St. The Black Venue is at 511 E. Virginia Drive, a short drive or bike ride away, and this year's BYOV venues (there are seven announced so far) are all over town – see maps and show descriptions at orlandofringe.org for those addresses.
FRINGE LAWN See page 14 for a schedule of performers. The beer tent is open weekdays from 6 p.m. to midnight and weekends noon to 1 a.m. Fringe food vendors are open weekdays from 5 p.m. until midnight and weekends from 11 a.m. to midnight.
