By 4 November 20, 2014
The New Orleans Family Fringe continues to grow and bring new audiences, young and old, into the Fringe mix!

On November 22 and 23 from 12-5pm, the event takes place in the beautifully remodeled yard at the Marigny Opera House at 725 St Ferdinand St and presents Sneak Peek performances from some of the family-friendly Fringe shows.

Come see magician TommEE Pickles, Gulf Coast Tap and ukelele master Missy Meatlocker, just to name a few. And we are thrilled that once again, this year’s Kid's Open Mic event will be hosted by our very own Deborah Evans, President of Della Music Publishing. Email deborah@nofringe.org to sign up!
