Changing Tables

I made an unfortunate discovery last night.  There are a lot of shows on the Fringe website that aren't listed in the pdf file that I got from the Fringe Office a few weeks ago.  A lot.  For the most part that's a great thing.  More to see.  But when you're already wearing your fingers down to the nubs making charts for each time-slot of the Fringe, finding extra shows that you have to add to your charts isn't a happy-happy-joy-joy. It is somewhat of a relief, however.  I was wondering what was up with the Jungle and Illusion venues this year.  And now I find that there is a site specific show at Via's Vintage Wear called Dressing Room that is showing almost non-stop throughout the festival.  Which incidentally, I thought I'd assemble a couple of odd facts that you might be interested in.


  • The Show with the most performances in the Fringe is: Dressing Room (20 Performances @ Via's Vintage Wear)
  • The Company with the most different productions in the Fringe: Nautilus Music Theatre (3 different productions @ Hey City, Upstairs)
  • The Fringe show with the longest title: Behind the True Intimate Portrait of the Driven Divas of Comedy-Unplugged (The Day the Laughter Died)  (3 Months to Live @ CalibanCo Theatre)
  • The Fringe show with the shortest title: DIX  (Terra Incognita @ Woman's Club of Minneapolis)

So, there's a random bit of trivia for you.  Now,talk amongst yourselves!
