The Fringe Omnibus 2

Orlando Fringe Festival

Loch Haven Park, Orlando, FL</strong>

We are nearly done, or at least I am. Information on tickets and times may be found at www.OrlandoFringe.org.

</em>

Exclusion Zone </strong> (Yellow Venue) Martin Dockery travels to the Chernobyl reactor and gets within 100 yards of the core. Neither radiation or warfare or explosive diarrhea will stop this man from telling a story.

Cajones </strong> (Orange Venue) </strong> Various Fringe artist “Do things they never would”. Basically they do whatever it is they normally do, just drunker and less accurately.

Dumpster Cats </strong> (Silver Venue) The script is as messy as the stage in this occasionally charming musical. Main reason to see it: Brandon Roberts sings.

Dance in The Graveyard </strong>(Red Venue) I call this a “Honey, we’re dead!” play. Two men have to figure out the afterlife with its crazy and malleable rules as Jean Paul Sartre rolls over in his grave.

Kiss Around Pass Around</strong> (Bronze Venue) More Japanese weirdness from everybody’s favorite anti-kabuki actress Yanomi Shoshinz. Your shoes are in danger.

Hoodies </strong> (Silver Venue) A touching domestic tragedy surrounds an in-your-face political message compete with sad faced actors holding up posters. One of the rare times Stephen Lima is intimidated on stage.

God Is a Scottish Drag Queen 3</strong>(Silver Venue) God loses his edge, not as funny as last year. Bu we enjoyed singing “I’m Gonna Be.”

The Stimulators</strong> (Brown Venue.) This medical “thriller” was written with a 2 by 4 and may be the most inelegant script I’ve ever seen staged. The nudity was a tease but will never make up for this pain.

Grim and Fischer</strong> (Silver Venue) Masters of mime and mask tell a tale of love, death and flatulence in this touching and funny reflection on death and mortality.
