Every show in town.
Even the ones nobody lists.
The touring Broadway production downtown. The regional house across the river. The black-box play two blocks over that sold out on word of mouth alone. Fanfare puts every stage near you in one place — with prices — and sends you straight to the box office.
Launch notice and nothing else. No spam, unsubscribe any time.
Half the theatre near you isn’t anywhere online.
Ticketing sites cover arenas and touring houses. They don’t cover the 60-seat company doing extraordinary work on a shoestring six miles from your house.
The big shows are easy
Touring productions and major venues are already indexed everywhere. Fanfare includes them — but that’s the part nobody needed help with.
The local shows are scattered
Community theatre lives on Facebook events, a church bulletin, a flyer taped in a coffee shop window, and a website last updated two seasons ago.
So you hear about it too late
The most common review of local theatre is “I didn’t know it was on.” A great production closes to half a house because nobody could find it.
Open it. See what’s playing. Go.
No account required to browse. Prices are visible the moment the app opens.

Pick your city and how far you’re willing to drive. Fanfare covers everything inside that radius — professional, regional, college, and community stages alike.

One list, sorted by date, with starting prices already on screen. Filter by category, price, or weekend. No hunting across six different sites.
Tap through to buy
Fanfare hands you off to the official box office or ticketing partner to check out. We never process the payment and never resell tickets.
Running a company? List your season free.
Fanfare only works if the small houses are on it. If you produce theatre — community, college, regional, or fringe — we want your season in the app, and we’re not going to charge you for it.
- No commission, no listing fee. Your box office keeps every dollar it takes.
- Your ticket link, untouched. Patrons go to your site, Ludus, or your own window.
- You control the listing. Dates, prices, artwork, and content notes stay yours to edit.
- Reach past your mailing list. Get in front of people who love theatre but have never heard of you.
Email us your company name, city, and season — we’ll take it from there. We’re onboarding founding companies now, ahead of launch.
By sending us listing details or artwork, you confirm you have the right to share them and you give Fanfare permission to display them in the app and on this site. You can ask us to remove your listings at any time.
Questions
Is Fanfare a ticket seller?
No. Fanfare is a discovery and price-comparison app. We show you what’s playing and what it costs, then link you to the official box office or an authorized ticketing partner to complete your purchase. We never take possession of tickets, never resell them, and never process your payment.
How do you make money if listings are free?
Through affiliate commissions paid by the large ticketing platforms when someone buys a touring or arena show after finding it here. Community and independent listings stay free, and a free listing is never ranked lower than a paid one.
What counts as “local”?
You decide. Set a radius around your city and Fanfare shows everything inside it. In a dense market that might be five miles; if you’re rural it might be sixty.
Which cities are covered at launch?
We’re building coverage market by market, starting where we can get real community theatre listings rather than just the arena calendar. Join the waitlist with your city and it moves up the list.
Do I need an account?
Not to browse. An account is only needed if you want to save shows or get an alert when a company you follow announces a season.
Be there opening night.
Join the waitlist and we’ll tell you the day Fanfare lands in your city. That’s the only email you’ll get from us until then.
