Part of our Minnesota Fringe team was in San Diego this week for the World Fringe Congress! The conference happens every two years, each time in a different city where a Fringe Festival is held. It's wonderful to get together with fellow artists and festival organizers from all across the world who value theater and performing arts in our communities!
