Announcing: FRINGEPVD 2026: The Providence Fringe Festival®, July 12 - 18, 2026. Subtitled Fringe in Focus, the 2026 Festival will offer a curated week of performances and special events that celebrate the artist-driven, adventurous spirit at the heart of FRINGEPVD: The Providence Fringe Festival®. A full schedule of events will be announced at a later date. “Since the beginning, FRINGEPVD has always been about access, experimentation, and community,” said Josh Short, Wilbury Theatre Group’s Artistic Director and the Founder of FRINGEPVD. “Producing a festival of this size requires a tremendous investment of time, staffing, and infrastructure. Given the current funding landscape, including the level of municipal and grant support available, we made the responsible decision to pause the full festival model this year. By scaling back and adopting a Fringe in Focus model for 2026, it allows us to recalibrate, support artists in a more meaningful way, and ensure that FRINGEPVD can return in a form that’s sustainable and strong for years to come.” For updates on this year’s festival, follow us here, or visit . Full announcement on our website. We look forward to seeing you this summer!

The @fringepvd 2025 ENCORE Series is next week! (Oct 24 - 26) Today, we’re spotlighting MORALITY PLAY (@dugwaytheater ) by Lily Mathews FRIDAY, October 24 at 7:00pm SATURDAY, October 25 at 8:30pm For tickets & more info, visit ABOUT MORALITY PLAY: Jen is going to teach you to win in business. And Jen is going to do whatever it takes to repair her reputation. But when a pair of children's show hosts intrude with their lessons and rhymes, it's all Jen can do to stay on script. This new play with music from Dugway Theater pulls from the weird worlds of self-help influencers, motherhood, and PBS television to examine the slippery nature of truth. MORALITY PLAY is written and performed by Lily Mathews, featuring Anna Slate and Kelly Robertson, with direction, film, and lighting design by Adam Kotin. #thewilburygroup #FRINGEPVD #RIArts #FRINGE #Providence #Theatre

On the long drive home, both siblings reveal more than they intend. THE FARM is a comedy about language, belief, and belonging. How do we love the ones we don't understand? THE FARM is performed and co-directed by Beth Alianiello and Davis Alianiello, with original music written and performed by Sam Taber. #thewilburygroup #FRINGEPVD #RIArts #FRINGE #Providence #Theatre

October 24 - 26 we’re bringing back three powerful pieces from the @fringepvd 2025 Providence Fringe Festival for FRINGEPVD 2025 ENCORE! Today, we’re spotlighting WHEN CAYDEN CAME by Charlotte Kinder SATURDAY, OCTOBER 25 at 7:00pm SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26 at 4:00pm For tickets & information, visit thewilburygroup.org/fringe-encore.html ABOUT WHEN CAYDEN CAME: When Cayden Came is written and performed by Charlotte Kinder and stage managed by Ben Ricci. While Mama shuffles through her pregnancy, the two-year-old Elena is very busy preparing for the biggest change of her life: the arrival of her baby brother! But neither Mama or Elena could prepare for the biggest change of all: life after loss. Join our heroines as they adjust to the new reality and take you on a journey through survival, grief, growing up, potties, bubble bazookas and hope. When Cayden Came is a surprisingly funny, deeply heartfelt, autobiographical one-woman show about building a family when you lose a child. WHEN CAYDEN CAME is written and performed by Charlotte Kinder, and stage managed by her husband Ben Ricci. #thewilburygroup #FRINGEPVD #RIArts #FRINGE #Providence
