The Fringe

By the way, there’s a free Fringe Festival preview tonight at Theatre de la Jeune Lune–thirty playlets done in tasty, three-minute bites.

Ah, how I love the Fringe for all its quirky, lo-fi virtues. But do you know what I love the most about it? Those campy, most often amateur photographs the Fringe performers put on postcards or otherwise use to promote their shows. An early sample:

From Janet And Tina (Hard Up And Landlocked), “a comedic dance theater piece about two disgruntled co-workers”:

From Wrapped in Plastic, a teen show about body image:

The ultimate in Fringe Fest geekiness–the image below, while not all that entertaining in and of itself, is from Carpe the DM, a show put on by a bunch of “Fridley and Columbia Heights residents” who introduce a lovely lady to “their favorite fantasy role-playing game.” (In unision, here’s where we go sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)
