The world-famous Winnipeg Fringe Festival starts today

July 13, 2011 - 3:43pm - by admin

and though I can't go until Friday

since I'm seeing my Grandma (who doesn't like plays) tonight, and seeing Library Voices tomorrow at the West End Cultural Centre (for free! Thanks @UMFM!)

I scored a set of free tickets from @KingsTransfer and am looking forward to heading out with Ty, @Cenquist and possibly some others to partake in the theater.

For you out-of-towners, the @WinnipegFringe is a huge deal here in #Winnipeg and we get some of the very best, most talented people to come and visit us for a while and perform their musicals, shows and plays.

Ty and I went last year and were harassed by the surliest clown ever and saw a bunch of plays that don't seem to be coming back this year (shame, 'Cactus the Seduction was amazing) and since unfortunately I'm not (yet) SuperWoman which means I can't attend every play I want to see, here are my top four picks:

Bedlam

The Brain from Planet X

Cannibal! The Musical

Hedwig and The Angry Inch

Clearly these are subject to change depending on what times are available, and who happens to be standing around outside promoting their play and are nice to me

(hint: buying me a beer helps in the decision-making ;))
