Hollywood, CA. September 12, 2024. Combined Artform’s Hollywood Independent Theater Festival (HITFEST) returns this October at the Stephanie Feury Studio Theater. HITFEST is an industry-driven festival concept from the company that brought Los Angeles the “Hollywood Encore Producers’ Award” and “Pick of the Fringe,” featuring the top shows from the Hollywood Fringe Festival.
HITFEST will present at least two shows each night, running on various Mondays through Thursdays. These evenings are optimal for showcasing work to the Hollywood entertainment industry, presenters, venues, and other organizations scouting for programming and talent. Additionally, audiences can enjoy top performances and save money by purchasing passes for multiple shows.
The inaugural year of HITFEST brought top shows and industry bookers together, resulting in sold-out crowds and new paid bookings for performing artists. It was a huge success, and we are thrilled to be returning. Plans are also underway to include a wider variety of shows, with new performances introduced throughout the year, offering an ever-changing selection for audiences and presenters alike.
Ticket prices will range from $25 to $35, with discounts available for senior citizens, students, and SAG-AFTRA and WGA members. Show passes offering discounts for multi-show packs will also be available. See below for a listing of participating venues and shows.
Industry professionals interested in attending or with specific questions about the productions, please contact Matthew Quinn at mquinn@combinedartform.com.
