Last year saw the first Fringe Festival in New Orleans. From the originators of this local franchise (Kristen Evans & Dennis Monn), to the venue perveyors, like myself (Skull Club), nobody knew what to expect.
The expectation that a few fans of alternative theater & performance art might show up (in large enough numbers to scrape by) were smashed by sell-out shows and performers from as far away as New York & Paris, followed by stunning reviews from the Times-picayune to the New York Times.
Truly, this second season of New Orleans Fringe Festival is not to be missed. With 45 performance groups and over 100 shows, from experimental theater to aerial acrobatics, there is certainly no shortage of entertainment here.
Please, take a few hours out of your life to run away with the circus, as it were. The Fringe Festival 2009 promises to transport your heart and soul and have you home in time for dreams of your own. Let the wide eyed kid in us all come out to play, won’t you?
I hope to see you out & about;

FRINGE NEWS:
While it may not be listed in the ‘formal’ literature, The Fringe Tent will be including a Paint Party by our own NOLA Rising, this very Sunday.
Bring your paints, hearts and open minds, kids.
Do it for the love.
Dangit!!! I want to be there! :) Here’s to a fan-frakkin’-tastic FRINGE Fest!!! :)
Will try to embrace th Fringe here in Cincy out of solidarity. Viva La Skull Club! Viva La Fringe!
Oh.
My.
God….
Last night’s opener was hilarious, uplifting, side splitting and that was just the two shows at Skull Club. The after party was the only way to follow such acts, and did it ever….
Do yourself a favor & go see some of this stuff.
Otherwise, you’ll spend the rest of the year explaining on how you’re gonna do it next time, really, you had every intention…
Go do the Fringe.
You’re gonna love it.
