Las Vegas Little Theatre Presents the 2025 Vegas Fringe Festival

For the Community, By the Community

By Isabel M. Castro

The Las Vegas Little Theatre (LVLT) is proud to announce the return of one of the city’s most exciting and unpredictable cultural events—the 14th Annual Vegas Fringe Festival. This much-anticipated celebration of live theatre will take place at the Fischer Black Box Theatre at LVLT, located at 3920 Schiff Drive near the intersection of Spring Mountain Road and Valley View Boulevard, June 6-15

The Fringe Festival 2025 will electrify local audiences for two weekends with a fast-paced lineup of original, daring, and thought-provoking plays. Each performance is kept under 60 minutes, offering an eclectic mix of storytelling and theatrical experimentation that encourages risk-taking and creative freedom. Festivalgoers can expect a mix of fresh new works and bold interpretations from both emerging and seasoned artists, with multiple showings scheduled throughout the event to allow audiences to curate their own unique Fringe experience.

Currently, the Black Box stage is buzzing with the energy of LVLT’s New Works production, 2025, The State of Virginia, written by Robb Willoughby. This gripping new play runs through May 25 and sets the tone for what promises to be a summer full of vibrant theatrical moments.

This year’s Fringe Festival will also feature encore performances of audience and critic favorites as part of the “Best of Fringe” selection. These top-voted productions represent the boldest, brightest, and most beloved offerings of the festival. While the final lineup is still being finalized, performances are slated for Friday, June 22, and Saturday, June 23. Each night will feature two productions performed back-to-back with a short intermission in between. One ticket grants access to both shows in a single evening, and given the intimate setting of the Black Box Theatre, seating is extremely limited. Theatre lovers are encouraged to purchase tickets early to ensure they don’t miss these standout performances.

Both shows perform in one evening with a 10-minute intermission. One ticket gets you into both shows! Seating is limited, so advance purchase is strongly recommended. Buy tickets by clicking here.

General admission for all shows is $30, with unassigned seating offered on a first-come, first-served basis. The box office is open Mondays from 4 to 8 p.m., Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon. Please note that the box office is closed on holidays. (Please check back soon for the full lineup and showtimes.)

Background

As Southern Nevada’s oldest community theatre, LVLT has been a steadfast supporter of the performing arts for more than 43 years. Founded in 1978 by Jack Bell and Jack Nickolson, the theatre began in a humble converted storefront with just 48 seats. Over the decades, it has evolved into a cherished institution fueled by passionate volunteers, community support, and the determination to bring meaningful theatre to the Las Vegas Valley. Thanks to the generosity of patrons, local businesses, and arts organizations, LVLT has presented critically acclaimed productions such as Master Harold...and the Boys, Purple Hearts, The Woolgatherer, Master Class, and A Streetcar Named Desire.

Mission

The mission of the Las Vegas Little Theatre remains rooted in its dedication to increasing awareness of the theatre arts throughout Southern Nevada, providing high-quality performances, and offering hands-on opportunities for people of all experience levels to engage in the world of theatre. Looking ahead, the organization hopes to secure a permanent, LVLT-owned venue to expand its reach and deepen its service to the community.

Supporters and Sponsors

The 2025 Vegas Fringe Festival is made possible through generous support from the Nevada Arts Council, the National Endowment for the Arts, and CARES Act funding. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, LVLT continues to thrive thanks to the support of its audiences, artists, and community advocates.
