Fringe 2023 - Day Eleven Schedule


We made it!  Here's the rundown for my Fringe Sunday (closing day) and links to the reasons why:  

1pm - Boy Crazy - my returning favorite write-up on Madde Gibba

 

 

 


2:30pm - Fargo Allegro - my returning favorite write-up on Heather Meyer

 

 

 

 

 

4pm - Against The Odds: Rachel Carson and the Writing of Silent Spring

“Nothing I could do would be more important.” Carson overcame obstacles that would have stopped most of us. She persevered to write Silent Spring and become the “Mother of the Modern Environmental Movement."

Venue: Augsburg Studio
Tagged for: Drama, Solo Show, Spoken Word, Storytelling, Historical Content, Political Content, Audience Participation
Content Warnings: None

One of a couple of solo shows which were very last-minute additions to the festival, this one from Fringe storytelling regular Katie Knutson.


5:30pm - New Origins: Beauty and the Beast

Explore the story before the fairy tale. Learn the true origins of how the Prince became the Beast. Journey with Belle as she navigates her feelings, and deals with a jealous sister that results in tragedy.

Venue: Rarig Center Thrust
Tagged for: Musical Theater
Content Warnings: None

Heard some good things about this one around the festival. Also, I previously missed that Kaz Fawkes is involved in this one. They've done a couple of great turns for Threshold Theater in our new play reading series in the past couple of years, so I'd like to be supportive in return.


7pm - Too Many Notes (yup, one last time, the 5th solo show in this lineup) - my returning favorite write-up on Maximum Verbosity

 

 

 

 


8:30pm - Dolly Who? - #7 on my Top 10 list this year

Then off to Fringe Central for the closing night celebration and Golden Lanyard Awards.


Here's some handy links to a rundown of 5 and 4.5 Star shows I've seen this year, also the 4 and 3.5 Star shows, and the rest, plus this year's Top 10 list, and Top 11-20 List, and the full list of all returning favorites in the 2023 Fringe, plus a link to all the 2023 Minnesota Fringe Festival coverage.
