Fringe staff visits Greater Minnesota

News

If your New Year's resolution this year was to do a Fringe show, you've got until January 30 at 5:00 p.m. to submit your application. For those with questions, helpful suggestions, or who need convincing, the lively Fringe staff might just be coming to your town in a few days to talk you into it.

The Fringe staff's Greater Minnesota Roadtrip itinerary includes Duluth, Bemidji, Fargo-Moorhead, Fergus Falls, St. Cloud, and even Minneapolis. I think maybe the real news here is that the Fringe staff is going on a roadtrip. Perhaps there will be tales of rural mishap coming next.

The Fringe application form, which must be the simplest in the performing arts universe to fill out (you can put "TBD" for just about everything), is available online now.
