Book your personalized 30 minute appointment with The Supervisor today! More info: www.hollywoodfringe.org/projects/10867 Please be aware that our Hobgoblin 6/9, 6/16, 6/22 & 6/23 performances are timed entry 1 hour walkthrough style shows. There are 3 available start times per show day that you can choose from to embark on your Complaints Dept. Adventure with an audience group of up to 20 people. If there are no tickets left for a particular showtime, then that entry time/group is full. These performances are immersive, interactive and require audience members to walk around the entire venue of The Hobgoblin Playhouse on a moving narrative track similar to the manner in which you’d move through a haunted house. You will be interacting with various Complaints Dept. “staff members” stationed around the venue as you journey through The Complaints Dept. Universe. Please take note of your specific ticket time as that is when you will need to arrive in order to begin your experience! Plan to arrive at least 5 minutes early! Our 6/27 final performance is The ∞ Annual The Complaints Dept. Presents: THE COMPLAINTS DEPT. AWARDS SHOW GALA SPECTACULAR! This will be a more traditional theater show with some interactive moments throughout. This show doesn’t have a moving audience track like the other shows. Audience members will stay seated in the 50 seat theater during the duration of this 90 minute variety show extravaganza. Live-stream tickets for this show will be available as well.

Hollywood Fringe

Hosting immersive events on EI since May, 2024

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.... Show More
