See that? That word “Free?” That’s the sweetest word in the language, that is. And free is what everything in CapFringe’s new Free Store is, all day, all week, all 18 days of the festival.
Ran into Julianne on the sidewalk late yesterday — hey, I work in the neighborhood, so it happens — and between distracted comments about six other things, she told me that the Fringe box office has moved $60K worth of advance tickets as of COB Wednesday. That’s twice what they’d sold by the same time [...]
Photoblogging the fringes of Fringe. In this episode: The Dizzy Miss Lizzie crew runs tech on The Saints — one of two shows the troupe’s bringing to CapFringe 2009.
Ah, ’tis truly the Fringe season: The performances haven’t started yet, but the newest round of Button-bitching has!
“Art answers the questions our hearts pose — and not always in ways our minds understand.”
It was solo performer Annie Houston who offered up that efficiently lyrical observation at the Warehouse Theater, sometime after 9:30 last night, in the waning hours of this year’s Capital Fringe Festival. Which made that deft little meditation on [...]
Actually, as I write this, it’s looking more like the Apocalypse. Monster thunderstorm, lightning over the Baldacchino, etc.

One more recommendation. Not a review, because (a) I’m not really a dance critic, and (b) my other half used to perform with this company, so even if I were I’d probably recuse myself.
But if only as one last reminder that this year’s Fringe has been a bit more multidisciplinary than it was in [...]
I’ve been planning on writing up an actual reviewlet, but the day has gotten away from me.
So, short version, because they’ve got a perf tonight at 8 (at the Source): It’s worth checking out, especially if you’re into the whole ancient-tales-retold thing.
Some strong movement, some interesting work with shadows and (human-generated) sound, a youngish cast [...]

They say: “In Polynesian mythology, when people were first created, they were born hatching out of turtle’s eggs … maybe they were right. Prototype 373-G blends humor and magical realism to tell the story of a woman battling extraterrestrials, a series of [...]
