It’s never too soon to start preparing for the next Hollywood Fringe Festival*
“How To Produce A Hollywood Fringe Show" is taught by eleven-year Hollywood Fringe veteran producer, Matthew Quinn of Combined Artform, host of Pick of the Fringe and venue manager of Asylum. He has been teaching hundreds of Fringers over the years on how to navigate the challenges of producing live theatre in Los Angeles. In this three hour course, he will walk you step by step in the process of producing a fringe show. He will inform you on what to expect, show you how to create a realistic budget, provide you with marketing strategies, tell you about the fringe community, the type of awards for your particular show, how to approach streaming a show and much more. He will get you on the path to having your best show at the Hollywood Fringe Festival.
In addition, you will leave with helpful spreadsheets to create a budget and a “To-Do” timeline. Because of the uncertainty and new developments of live theatre in Los Angeles County, students who take this class will be able to take a “Booster” class in early January to get updates on any changes. It’s like getting two classes for the price of one.
This class is being offered ONLINE.
The link for the online class will be emailed to you before the class.
While this workshop centers on producing for the Hollywood Fringe, producers will find it helpful for independent productions as well.

NEW LIVE STREAMING SHOW “WHAT’S NEXT?” ASKS THE QUESTION,
WHAT’S NEXT WITH LIVE ENTERTAINMENT?
With live performance venues closed around the world, many artists are looking to the future by creating new material, adapting old material, and exploring artistic ways to utilize the digital landscape. Many others are trying to figure out just what’s next for live entertainment. "Is streaming theatre, actually theatre?" "What will happen when venues open?" "How will theatre find equal representation in their shows?"
"What’s Next?" aims to answer these questions. This new, interview style series is created and hosted by Matthew (Matt) Quinn - award winning Los Angeles producer, venue manager, and pioneer of “techno Improv” with Tilted Frame. Like many theatre-makers, Matt is making pivots in his artistic career to satisfy the continued need for entertainment. During the quarantine, he took solace in speaking with colleagues from around the world about the current and future challenges, realizing that others could benefit from the wide array of information he was discovering.
For each episode, Matthew will host pioneers and global theatre professionals to discuss what’s happening now and what’s next for venues, live streaming, and diversity in theatre. Each episode hopes to educate and enlighten artists and audiences looking to answer, "What’s Next?” In the first two episodes, Matthew explores the rise of online theater performance with the vanguard and forward thinkers of this exploding format. Is it the savior of live performance or its temporary fix?
All episodes will be live streamed and posted on
Youtube (Combined Artform) and Facebook (What's Next?)

RECENT EVENTS
(YOU WEREN’T SUPPOSED TO) SHOOT THE DICTATOR. The dictator of Rimedoj is dead – rejoice! Well, maybe not. You see, shooting the dictator was not part of the plan, and now the four revolutionaries who jumped the gun have to figure their way out of a tough spot. The dictator is dead, but he’s supposed to give a speech soon… and his supporters are eagerly anticipating him outside. Add in a smattering of hidden agendas, betrayals, and vastly differing interpretations of the word “revolution”… it will take all of the wits they can muster to pull their coup off without murdering each other first.

THE CAFE. Kyle’s coffee shop has been open for less than two weeks and making his coffee shop a success is his top priority. Unfortunately, due to the actions and comments of his employees and himself, his newest hire, Chase, feels uncomfortable in the workplace. She quits on her first day, leaving a scalding review on her way out. This play explores the nuances of sexual harassment in the most mundane workplace and questions how we as a society address microaggressions in a post-Me Too world.
