Cannonball is an official hub of the Philadelphia Fringe! Every Cannonball Mainstage show, along with our OVERBOARD! Cabaret, is also a part of the Philadelphia Fringe Festival. As the largest and one of the first official festival hubs, we work closely with our friends at FringeArts to make sure that our audiences and artists have the best experience possible!
In the Spring, Cannonball produces Miniball, a week long, paired down version of Cannonball Festival, which is not associated with FringeArts. -
Miniball is a micro-version of the festival featuring encores of previous Cannonball shows, as well as other works not featured in the festival before, to keep the spirit of Cannonball sailing strong throughout the year.
Miniball returns December 8th-18th at Christ Church Neighborhood House- more information coming soon!
