Location, Location, Location

When constructing your Fringe schedule, give yourself some breathing room, and don't tempt the traffic and parking gods more than absolutely necessary.

Find a show that's a must-see? See what else is playing at that venue over the course of the festival. Hanging out in the same locale for a couple of shows or more gives you the leisure time to mingle with other Fringers and get their take on other worthwhile shows to see elsewhere. Plus you might get to meet some of the artists while you're at it.

If nothing at the same location strikes your fancy, try something in a venue nearby...

Intermedia Arts and Bryant Lake Bowl are walking distance from one another, you don't even have to move your car. Or you could move your car, but only as far as Old Arizona.

Hey City Theater Upstairs and Downstairs - what's more convenient than that? And Illusion Theater's just up the street.

Loring Playhouse is a leisurely stroll from the MCTC's Whitney Mainstage, which is just down the hall from Whitney Studio, and all three are a quick car ride from the Minneapolis Theater Garage.

You get the idea.
