This year’s Fringe Festival may be modest in scope compared to the pre-pandemic years but there still is a lot going on. Here are two ways to check out the festival.

This link gives you all in-person sorted by date and time: https://www.pittsburghfringe.org/dates.html

Below are all the shows by their self-professed genre. Many shows span several genres and don’t really fit single-genre categorizations. So only use this as an imperfect guide. Something in theatre could be hilarious, and something in Performance Art might be closer to dance or theatre. Anyways, jump in and try something new!
