Why is there a Memphis FRINGE?

Voices of the South started when co-founders Alice Berry and Jenny Madden prepared a theatre piece to take to the International Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland in 1996 and 1997. The Fringe was the inspiration and catalyst for Voices of the South and its 25-year history of touring the world and building a strong foundation in the Memphis Theatre Community. In founding the Memphis FRINGE Festival, Voices of the South aims to give artists the same opportunity to create and perform.
