We're only three months away from the most hectic, exiting, exhausting, wonderful week in #TCTheater: the
Minnesota Fringe Festival! This year's festival will take place August 1-11 (with the related Family Fringe happening July 26-28 and August 2-4), but events have been happening all year. May brings one of my favorite Fringe events,
the "Five-Fifths" benefit, in which a popular movie is divided into five parts and handed to five Fringe companies for them to interpret as they wish. It's a very clever concept, and one that really showcases what's unique about each company. This year's choice was
Mary Poppins, and the results were, as my friend Jules from
Minnesota Theater Love succinctly put it, "weird and fun." Just like Fringe!
