Applications are now open for Henley Fringe 2009.
We have over 19 venues - it is shaping up nicely.
In 2008 we had 3000 audience members come to the fringe !

Comment by Facsimile Productions on May 22, 2008 at 3:25pm - We have two shows on at this year's Henley Fringe Festival and are very excited about taking part in this wonderful new event. Come and see our outdoor staging of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' at Phyllis Court Paddock every afternoon at 2.30pm or come and rock with Rasputin every night at 8pm at the Kenton Theatre with the world premiere of new rock musical 'Rasputin Rocks!' by Andrew Hobbs and Alistair Smith. All the best to everyone involved in the festival and all of the acts performing and we hope to see you at our shows.

this group is for people who are interested in improvisation. How it affects their life, relationships. Join this group if you'd like to hang out and improvise with other improvisers!
