There are many ways to help out as a Fringe Team Member. Look at the descriptions and requirements to see which area is right for you.
The Fringe also needs volunteers to billet our many fantastic out of town performers who always looking for a place to rest their weary heads while on the road. If you 'd like to support the Fringe by opening your home to a performer, then being a billetor is for you. Billeters do not need to provide food or transportation for performers - just a safe place for them to sleep and store their belongings.
Billeters get show passes and other perks, too!
