The Encore! Producers' Awards (formerly the Best of Fringe- Extensions) represent the best of the Hollywood Fringe as selected by venue producers, based on artistic merit and commercial potential. The extensions immediately follow the HFF2016 and run through July in participating fringe venues. Shows receive valuable extensions giving them the opportunity for additional audience, press, awards and extensions. Past winners have gone on to further extensions in LA, around the country and the world.

Charlotte’s Shorts is the taco truck of comedy. Fast, cheap and delicious. Six of the world’s greatest actors read short works of fiction by Charlotte Dean. Hear from the most lovable, self-centered, clueless and downright awful people you never want to meet (but probably already know.) The show is co-directed by Charlotte Dean and Tracy Newman.

Charlotte Dean is a writer and artist, born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Tracy Newman is an Emmy and Peabody Award winning TV writer/producer, and Charlotte’s mother. In 2008, Charlotte started the short story blog Charlotte’s Shorts. In 2014, Charlotte and Tracy turned Charlotte’s Shorts into a live comedy show. The show has been performed at various theaters in Los Angeles, including The Groundlings and was part of the 2015 San Francisco SketchFest.
