Yellow Bicycle Theater
Right in the heart of Philadelphia, Yellow Bicycle Theater was built for the Philly Fringe. An unofficial hub of the festival three years running, we’ve hosted dozens of local and international productions alongside in-house events like Bicycle Shorts Film Festival, a perennial favorite with cyclists and cinephiles. This year we’ve expanded our base rental to include front of house, longer time slots, and use of our projector, PA system, camera, and live-streaming equipment.
