The Best Travel-Related Bets At New York's Fringe Theatre Festival

August 12, 2009 at 2:46 PM | by egw | Comments (0)

The New York Fringe Festival may not be as big as Edinburgh's blowout bash held in the same month, but the deals are just as sterling: Two weeks of shows begin this Friday, August 14, with all tickets at a very reasonable $15—unless you get a pass like the "Fiver" (five shows for $70) or the "Lunatic" (as many shows as you want for $500).

We recommend at least making the trip for these Four Top Fringe Fest NYC Shows:

· "The Antarctic Chronicles"
How writer-performer Jessica Manuel ended up on the other side of the world, and what she learned about herself once she got there. A must-see for you cold-weather fans. (At The Players Loft, 115 MacDougal St.)

· "Population 8"
This drama about a tiny town whose residents have to band together is fiction, but putting yourself in a rural mindset has got to be a challenge in a big city. (At the SoHo Playhouse, 15 Vandam St.)

· "Tales from the Tunnel"
Love it or hate it, New Yorkers couldn't get around without the subway; this revue collects interviews and notes from real experiences on the glorious underground. (At the Connelly Theater, 220 E. 4th St.)

· Special Internet Pick: "I Can Has Cheezburger, The MusicLOL"
Come on, like you didn't want to be the first to write the world-premiere cat-macro play. Jealous cat is jealous! (At the Cherry Lane Theatre, 38 Commerce St.)
