If you've never been to the Fringe Festival, you're missing out my friend. It's like regular theatre, but much less pretentious and much more anarchic. From August 1 to August 10, 25 national and international productions are performed in total over 150 times. The festival is uncensored and unjuried, so it's a very mixed bag. You never know whether you're going to see the next smash hit or something uninspired a few friends put together. Taking your chances is part of the fun. Don't worry about wearing jeans; this is no upscale theatre experience, just a bunch of young playwrights trying to make it in The Biz. Some titles include "Pizza Girl and the Dark Enigma," "Pussy Sushi," and "Debbie Does Dallas: The Musical."
