Applications for Fringe Run Venues have two deadlines, an early bird at noon, October 16, and a final deadline when applications close at 5pm, Jaunary 8, 2016. The deadline for Find Your Own Venues, is noon on March 4, 2016.

Duet Roulette with ReCreative Spaces

Are you free tomorrow or Friday, November 13? You might want to check out Duet Roulette, with ReCreative Spaces:

DUET ROULETTE brings together performing and visual artists of the DC community in an evening of inspiration, creation, improvisation, and surprise. Using an interactive selection process, audience members choose two artists at random to be paired together, who instantly collaborate; performing a short "duet" on the spot. There's no time for rehearsal, just spontaneous, participatory art! 

You are welcome to join us as a performer, an observer, or both.

Duet Roulette tickets are only $5 each, and the event runs from 7:30pm to 10pm both nights.

Go to their Eventbrite page for more information and tickets.
