The 16th Annual Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival kicked off on May 17th with a series of parties, performances and a parade by the festival artists. Ryan Price from Blogging Fringe was there to meet some artists and watch things go down.

From Heart of Coal we had Jeremy Seghers tell us about the rain, then Ryan tried to get in the VIP room. There was a parade artists with belly dancers, a gay boy in love with a lesbian, some funny Asians and a Jew straight from summer camp. After that, we heard from two of the Six Characters, Catherine and KB.
