First CapFringe? Nope. Wrote, acted, and volunteered in previous years. Attended in between.
Shows I’m Seeing: The Fifth Musketeer, Billy The Kid: The First Exhumation, Foley Artist, GS-14, Cover Me in Humaness. Others I’m still sussing out.
Random Thing You Might Find Revealing About My Sensibilities: Thinks Cassavetes was a hack, Brecht was unwatchable, and Mamet only had a couple good stories in him. Eager to see a show that puts them all to shame.
