East to Edinburgh
Preparing for a Scottish debut!
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe in Scotland is the largest arts festival in the world, and a true celebration of some of the best emerging and established performing arts in the world.
East to Edinburgh (E2E) is a brilliant opportunity for US theater companies to introduce work in NYC with up to 3 performances in the intimacy of 59E59 Theaters’ studio space while fine-tuning performances just weeks ahead of their Scottish debut. First come, first serve for companies with a confirmed spot for the upcoming Edinburgh Festival. We offer a low-cost rental package, 100% box office paid to companies, free technical assistance, and a marketing package that includes website listing, promotional emails, and social media posts.
East to Edinburgh 2024 has been FULLY BOOKED, and the wait list is FULL.
Applications for E2E 2025 will open in mid-January of 2025. Check this page for updates in early January 2025.
