Every Saturday of July our spotlight is on Work-in-Process performances gearing up to travel to the biggest arts/culture festival on the planet, the Edinburgh Fringe!
Come support the creative development of upcoming Fringe shows, be an important part of the process, and help expand a community that can share resources and ideas before anyone gets on the plane. Ticket purchase gets you entry into all of the day’s shows!
The Elysian's mission is to foster artists through the development of boundary-pushing and genre-bending work, and in the theater's two years of existence, so many fabulous creators have developed shows here that went on to exciting success in Edinburgh (Natalie Palamides' Weer, Courtney Pauroso's Vanessa 5000, Bill O'Neill's Amazing Banana Brothers, Claire Woolner's A Retrospective, Griffin Kelly's Two Cats on A Date, Natasha Mercado's #1 Son, and more). In addition to giving artists free time on our stage to work in front of an audience and receive feedback, we will be hosting workshops for the Fringe-committed and Fringe-curious, like Guerilla Marketing 101, Q&As with artists, writers, producers, promoters, and more.
All tickets support this development initiative at the Elysian!
