Fringe Theater Key West

In 2009 a small group of theater enthusiasts decided Key West was ready for something new.  They envisioned a theater "of the people by the people" and so they called it The People's Theater of Key West.  The collective became a 501 (c)(3) in 2009 under the leadership of Connie Hurst, Tammy Shanley, Chris Tittle, and Judy Hadley. In 2011, the fledgling organization had grown enough that it needed more centralized management and a strong fundraiser.  The group knew just the person and approached playwright/philanthropist Monnie King.  She reorganized the group and adopted a new name:  Fringe Theater Key West.  In April of 2016, Fringe, under the direction of board president Janet Bengel, invited Rebecca Tomlinson to become Fringe Theater’s Artistic Managing Director. Fringe Theater Key West continues to create opportunities for people to see and do theater through workshops, readings, projects, and mainstage productions. Learn more at www.fringetheater.org
