The Lemonade Stand at Philadelphia FringE
coming to plays & players Sept 8-27 2026
The Lemonade Stand is proud to be an official Hub of the Philadelphia Fringe in 2026, presenting a curated line up of artists at the Skinner Studio at Plays and Players, September 8-27!
We will welcome around 10 artists/performances to our hub, across theatre, comedy, clown, and other Fringe-y favorites! Our application is open now through April 30th for any and all. We welcome applications from Philly folks and beyond, so if you are interested, let us know about your piece and share it with your other friends and freaks! Applications will be reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis. Artists will receive offers on or before May 15th.
We are especially excited to join Philadelphia Fringe as a hub to continue to build our artistic community and work with artists we might not otherwise have the opportunity to. Fringe is a vital part of the new works scene, in Philly and around the world, and we are proud to continue the legacy of presenting shows that push boundaries of genre and expose audiences to a surprising and unique experience.
We find success when artists build relationships after The Lemonade Stand and we are proud to be a part of the next generation of Philadelphia artists.
We love homemade.
