"At a time when arts funding is scarce and the cultural landscape feels fraught, the festival arrives at the exact right moment—bursting with vital stories that tackle heavy topics, provide much-needed laughs, and explore pressing sociocultural issues. In true Wilbury fashion, FRINGEPVD remains one of the city’s most accessible summer staples...With many distinct performances, mixers, and family-friendly community events, FRINGEPVD is accessible, brilliant, and delightfully weird!"

"FRINGEPVD thrives because Providence shows up for its artists. If you love this city’s creativity, its weirdness, its warmth, its willingness to take risks, consider supporting the festival. Your ticket, your donation, your presence in the audience directly fuels the artists who make Providence a cultural destination. It’s your participation that makes the difference."

"The arts do more than entertain—they bring people together, strengthen neighborhoods, and help define a city’s identity. At Wilbury Theatre Group, in Providence, that philosophy extends well beyond the stage."
