"The Door" in New<br />
York | USA<br />
“The New York International Fringe Festival,<br />
or FringeNYC, is a fringe theater festival and<br />
one of the largest multi-arts events in North<br />
America. It takes place over the course of two<br />
weeks every August, spread on more than 20<br />
stages across several neighborhoods in<br />
downtown Manhattan, notably the Lower East<br />
Side, the East Village, and Greenwich Village.<br />
The play ‘The Door’ by Iran Saye Theater<br />
was chosen to be staged in the New York<br />
International Fringe Festival (FringeNYC),<br />
August 2016. Producing Artistic Director of<br />
FringNYC, Elena Holy writes: “The Door is the<br />
first Iranian play to take part in FringeNYC,<br />
providing a rare opportunity for thousands of<br />
Fringe festival audience members to glimpse<br />
into Middle Eastern theatre.”<br />
Attendance in 2009 topped 75,000 people.<br />
Unlike most Fringe festivals, FringeNYC uses a<br />
jury-based selection process. Around 200<br />
shows, out of a much larger pool of applicants,<br />
are selected for inclusion each year.<br />
