On The Fringe in Hollywood
Hosted by the directors of the Hollywood Fringe Festival in Hollywood California. Ellen and Lois will be interviewing all types of guests in the Theatre and Arts Community including key players in arts funding, politicians and organizations trying to make a change in funding for the arts in the Los Angeles area. From time to time we will get in depth interviews with creators and artists who have been acknowledged for their works during past Hollywood Fringe Festivals, discussing the history of their life as an artist, their show and pick their brain on their process of creating their work during the Hollywood Fringe Festival run of their production.
