Some of the most entertaining, off-the-wall, unique, hilarious, moving and invigorating pieces of home-spun theatre can be sampled and discovered at this incredible festival... and it is run almost entirely on donations, volunteerism and word-of-mouth!
See as much as you can... and when you do, SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCES HERE!
My plans so far: I am volunteering this year, so will be tackling box-office duties while also partaking in complimentary shows.
I have my eyes (and scheduled-hours) on: HOW NOW DOW JONES VOTE! THE MUSICAL AMERICAS NEXT TOP BOTTOM A CONTEMPORARY AMERICANS GUIDE TO A SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE ABRAHAM LINCOLNS BIG GAY DANCE PARTY FAR OUT BABY WANTS CANDY: THE IMPROV MUSICAL WILLY NILLY CAMP WANATACHI ZIPPERFACE! THE HOBO MUSICAL

Add THIRTY MINUTES OR LESS to your list! It's a great play, and you'd get to meet me! It's a win-win!

When Yero first talked about the show I got tickets to opening night. They are having their opening night party at The Life Cafe and the audience is invited, pretty cool if you ask me.
I love the smaller shows, and while VOTE looks interesting to me, it also looks like it will have further life (due to its reality tv star), and I feel that there are many other shows out there that deserve my $15.
David walked into the valley
With a stone clutched in his hand
He was only a boy
But he knew someone must take a stand
There will always be a valley
Always mountains one must scale
There will always be perilous waters
Which someone must sail

Also, anyone who brings their ticket stub from THIRTY MINUTES OR LESS to the Life Cafe gets a free beer. Can't ask for much more than that. /shamelessplug

I'm excited about lots of NYMF shows including Vote, Zipperface, How Now Dow Jones, Sorority Queen in a Mobile Home, Refractions, High Plains, A Contemporary American?s Guide To A Successful Marriage, and And She Said, He Said, I Said Yes.
Does anyone know of any great or unexpected casting for any of the shows? The casting for Fringe shows is so spread out, that it's hard to know who is in everything. For example, I just checked out the website for Two on the Aisle, Three in a Van randomly, and found out that Jim Stanek and Natascia Diaz are in it! Any other casting of note that interested others?
I just got my ticket to "FAR OUT" on opening night. I have heard its amazing! Here's a link to it too. It looks like a lot of fun. I am hopefully also going to see a few more...Like maybe Tales from the Tunnel.. http://www.faroutthemusical.com Updated On: 8/12/09 at 06:41 PM
