Test Pilots is an interactive, branching narrative show that places participants in a fake TV studio as a “test audience” for new shows (and in some cases, one or more unsuspecting audience members may even be “cast” in a TV show we’re about to “film”). Throughout the show, audience members use remote controls to vote on script decisions, measure their sentiment, or otherwise interact with the show in a way that actually affects how things play out. Whether it’s a 1950s husband/wife sitcom, a sci-fi space exploration drama, or a thirsty teen vampire serial, you’ll start by laughing along at a satirical skewering of a classic TV drama, and end with an unnerving examination of what our entertainment media says about society and about you.

About Hollywood Fringe
The Hollywood Fringe Festival is an annual, open-access, community-derived event celebrating freedom of expression and collaboration in the performing arts community. Each June during the Hollywood Fringe, the arts infiltrate the Hollywood neighborhood: fully equipped theaters, parks, clubs, churches, restaurants and other unexpected places host hundreds of productions by local, national, and international arts companies and independent performers. Participation in the Hollywood Fringe is completely open and uncensored. This free-for-all approach underlines the festival’s mission to be a platform for artists without the barrier of a curating body. By opening the gates to anyone with a vision, the festival is able to exhibit the most diverse and cutting-edge points-of-view the world has to offer. Additionally, by creating an environment where artists must self-produce their work, the Fringe motivates its participants to cultivate a spirit of entrepreneurialism in the arts.
