The Kansas City Fringe
recently held its 8th festival, and if there’s one thing the festival
has become known for (besides burlesque) it’s as a breeding ground for
new plays by local writers. There are several theatre companies in
Kansas City that will occasionally produce works by local playwrights,
but none that are devoted exclusively to the task or that do much to
foster the creation of new works within the community. Consequently, the
Kansas City Fringe Festival is where local writers go to test their
mettle. With its low barrier for entry, an atmosphere of risk taking,
and an audience eager to try something new, playwrights are using the
Fringe to hone their craft and build their reputation.
