The concept of a Fringe Festival started in Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1947, when eight theatre groups were shunned from the Edinburgh International Festival. The Fringe Festival at FRT follows this idea. It was initially put together to allow graduating seniors to showcase capstone projects, but also features work from various students in the theatre and dance program.
