Now that the Minnesota Fringe Festival website is live, I can start putting together my charts. I have already sent out some notes to a few producers to get a feel for who would be willing to be covered in my pre-Fringe articles.
While my methods of show selection do not allow for me to choose which shows I see, and therefore keep me from making choices of what to write about, I do have a bit more control prior to the festival. Normally I contact about 6-8 companies and follow their pre-Fringe progress. This year will be no different. I plan to follow the events leading up to the Fringe Festival both through the preview performances sponsored by the Festival itself, and by covering a few companies in a feature story or two.
It is my hope that doing this will shed some light on how companies, actors, directors, and all the rest get ready for the most intense two weeks of theatre in the calendar year.
