Be a Part of Our Community
The annual Charm City Fringe Festival is put on by Charm City Fringe (CCF), a nonprofit that supports Baltimore’s ever-growing fringe theatre community. Through the festival and other semi-regular productions and workshops, this organization provides a platform for artists to showcase their work and reach new audiences while offering creative learning opportunities for young people to get interested and involved in the performing arts.
Our primary mission is to support the artists for their contribution to our culture and community, which is why the majority of ticket sales goes straight to them. That’s also why we need your generous help as a community to keep Charm City Fringe going.
