Fringe Encore at the Phipps

The Minnesota Fringe Festival is coming to Hudson—and it’s bringing the best of the fest with it! For four straight days, the Phipps Black Box Theater will be home to five completely different, wildly creative theatre performances, each handpicked from the Twin Cities’ legendary Fringe Festival. It’s bold. It’s unexpected. It’s a whirlwind of storytelling, comedy, drama and everything in between. Think of it as your own bite-sized Fringe experience—just show up, grab a seat and get ready to be surprised, delighted, and maybe even a little weirded out (in a good way).
