Pittsburgh, PA (PittsburghNewsWire.com) —  Pittsburgh Fringe Festival hosts a preview of festival acts on Thursday, April 24 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Bar Marco in the Strip District.  For $10 (cash only at the door), interested festival goers can catch 5-minute samples of the shows that will be featured in the May festival.  $1 of every paid admission goes to Just Harvest, an organization that works to end poverty and hunger.  Just Harvest will have trucks available at the event with food for purchase.  Festival tickets will also be available to purchase.  For more information about the festival performances and ticket prices, Fringe fans are encouraged to visit www.pghfringe.org/tickets.  This project supported in part by a Seed Award from The Sprout Fund.

About Just Harvest
Founded in 1986, Just Harvest works in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania to end hunger and poverty. Learn more at justharvest.org.  Every year Just Harvest (as part of the Money In Your Pocket coalition) provides free tax preparation services that refund millions of dollars to thousands of local low-income households. Their food truck roundup is a celebration of this year’s tax season and a thank you to the dozens of volunteers who make the tax service possible.
