Fringe-for-All #1

by Wendy Gennaula • July 5, 2008 • It’s advent season for fringers. The first candle is this Monday night at the Fringe-for-All #1 . The second opportunity to work on wish lists will be Wednesday night July 9. Bryant Lake Bowl is hosting The Rabbit Show’s extravaganza Dance Shows That Got Into the Fringe .

The full schedule is up on the official website. Attending these previews is an easy way to sample what the artists’ have to offer. Bring a pencil and take notes.

Good To Momma is the blog of Wendy Gennaula, one of five bloggers covering the Minnesota Fringe Festival for the Daily Planet.


In the past, my official “beat” has been kids’ fringe. My “extreme fringer” is now 10. He came along for 10 shows last year and is aiming to crush his personal record. Last year I added musicals. I build my schedule around those 2 genres and then fill in the blanks with whatever strikes my fancy.

Merry Fringemas!

“Look at the demographics of our watershed,” explains Jenny Winkelman, Education & Outreach Coordinator for the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization (MWMO), which covers portions of the cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul, Lauderdale, and St. Anthony. “We have a huge audience we’re trying to reach, many of them fairly recent immigrant communities, such as the Hmong and Somali communities. Most traditional watershed materials are produced for a literate, English-speaking audience and may miss important populations.” MORE »
