The NY International Fringe Festival is a good way to experience some edgy and new theater. But it's utterly exhausting. Sometimes you need something of an escape. Enter the Binge Festival, designed as a late-night alternative to the Fringe, a way to let loose after a performance. This is the third annual Binge Festival, and the first to occur in sync with the Olympics. To fit the occasion, the Binge will include, in addition to short plays, comedy and drinking, competitive eating and drinking. When's the last time you've drank till you passed out? If you've answered never, you've probably never been to college. Let out your inner 20-something. The NYUers will be proud. Or at least, I will.
