Off-IPAY 2020 presents an opportunity for Artists, Producers, and Agents, to present an official Independent Showcase Performance. Off-IPAY Independent Showcase are produced completely independently of IPAY, and may only be performed during the specific time periods sanctioned by IPAY and may not conflict with official Showcase programming.*

This initiative increases the number of productions available for Showcase delegates and increases opportunities for member artists to showcase their work. 

*Official Off-IPAY time slots for 2020 will be announced in September of 2019.
