EXPERIENCE THE FRINGE IN A NEW WAY...VOLUNTEER!



Volunteers are the corner stone of the Kansas City Fringe Festival organization. Each year the efforts of our volunteers are integral to the growing success of the Fringe. Not only do volunteers assist with the annual Fringe Festival itself, they also help staff Fringe fundraising events, promote the Fringe at First Friday's, and help with other Fringe-y opportunities as they arise.

Volunteer jobs include Box Office, House Manager, Usher, and Runner and shifts can vary in length but are usually at least three hours. No matter when during the year you volunteer, for each hour donated, you will receive 2 $ Fringe Bucks $. These can be used toward show tickets, merchandise and special offers during the Fringe Festival.

After the Fringe Festival is over, we gather and celebrate at our annual Volunteer Appreciation Party where Fringe Bucks are also used to bid on silent auction items.

By volunteering your time, not only are you part of the vibrant arts community in Kansas City, but you are supporting brilliant and talented local, national, and international artists. Come and be a part of the year-round experience that is the Kansas City Fringe Festival!!!
