It’s Fringin’ time! The Opening Night Party starts tonight at 9 p.m. at Avenue, 649 New York Ave. NW. Fringe artists and performers will turn the three-story club into a cabaret. And life is, you know, a cabaret, old chum.
Plus, we’re unveiling the first-ever, super-fantastic Fringe Confessional! Come confess your Fringe sins–and anything else you’re [...]
(NOTE: This was supposed to go with Mr. Graham’s inaugural post but somehow didn’t. We blame YouTube.)
So, Trey has had it up to here with Shakespeare. Perhaps watching this video will change his mind.
Hilary Kacser invited us to a rehearsal of her Fringe offering Love & War: With the Bard’s Broads and Dames, and of course we said yes. Hilary was freshly back from London, where she was invited to present [...]
Laura Zam seems to specialize in one-person shows with two-word titles about three subjects. Last year’s Fringe offering, Stupid Frailty, dealt with Internet dating, death, and genocide. This year, Laura returns with another one-woman show, Collaterally Damaged, about art, sex, and genocide. The shows are comedies. Kinda.
Shirley Serotsky is the play’s director, and she’s [...]
Everywhere you turn, it’s Julianne, Julianne, Julianne! Which is all well and good and certainly deserved. But let us interrupt the Brienzafest for a brief–too brief, perhaps–moment with the other CapFringe founder, Damian Sinclair.
We caught up with Damian at the Fringe Box Office grand opening last week. The location, also known as the Unified Launch [...]
A sell-out hit from last year’s Fringe, The Eddie Lounge Show returns this year with an all-new revue. We caught up with Mr. Lounge outside the Fringe Box Office during the official opening as he was distributing promo posters and postcards. Rule one: never stop promoting. Take it away, Eddie…
We popped in to the grand opening of the Fringe Box Office last night, and were delighted to hear a band in full swing. Delighted, because the musicians are all old friends. Dan Hovey (guitar), Jeff Gray (sax), and Eric Leifert (bass) were cooking up a sultry mix of jazz standards to beat the heat.
Jeff [...]
The first-ever Fringe Festival Preview at the Palace of Wonders last week was a hoot and a half. Oh, make that a full-on hoot. And occasional hootenanny. This video doesn’t capture the half of it, but does give a tantalizing taste of what’s in store beginning July 19 all around town.
Witness Fringe excerpts from Swami [...]
Don’t talk to Fringe playwright Kristen Cantwell about her new work at dinnertime, because you will be overtaken, as I was, with fierce hunger pangs. Because Kristen’s play is the musical cabaret, Butter: A Love Story.
Kristen scored at last year’s Fest with Confessions of an Invisible Woman (Here’s Trey‘s video interview.), and if my stomach [...]
Wow. A dazzling night of Fringeness at the Palace of Wonders: magic, music, puppets, drama, comedy. And beer, popcorn, and hot dogs. That’s pretty much all I ask of life.
We’ll have video highlights of the evening up soon, but in the meantime, check out Bob Morrison‘s excellent pix from the evening here.
