A script writer with some shows in the Minnesota Fringe recently got asked some questions by a local student and is posting his responses on a website. There is no RSS Feed, no way for me to subscribe or add him to the Blogtracker, so I don't consider it a blog, despite its overt "blogginess". I can say the same for the official Minnesota Fringe site, as well as our own OrlandoFringe.org - they should at least link to a myspace blog feed or something.

The Orlando International Fringe Theatre Festival is thrilled to announce that we have hired Ms. Genevieve Bernard as our new Associate Producer.

Many of you might know Genevieve from her work as the Artistic Director/Choreographer of VOCI Dance which she has been a part of since 2000.

The Orlando theater company best known for Shakespeare is changing its name.

Known for the past 12 years as the Orlando-UCF Shakespeare Festival, the area's largest resident theater company will be called Orlando Shakespeare Theater.

Apparently, the backers of the festival are hoping we the people will start calling it "Orlando Shakes" - hence the snappy title.

Imagine a painting that can paint itself, dance, look at you, touch other paintings and change those others with its own paint. Sounds too good to be true? It might be, but DRIP is bringing it to us.

There is a great interview with Marla Maribal, the artistic director for DRIP, over on her MySpace page.

I've just finished writing a post over on Orlando Video about Dewey Chaffee. You might recognize the name, but if not, just know that he is associated with a certain grumpy old man who has emerged as one of the early adopters of this whole YouTube/MySpace/promote your show/promote early/promote often... thing. If you have a Fringe show, look at what Linwood and Dewey are putting together.

I can't really say what the show is all about, but it's very clear that Linwood thinks our little festival is below his celebrity.

Have you ever wanted to produce a Fringe show but did not know where to start?

If you haven't seen it on MySpace, check out this entertaining video by Mark Baratelli asking patrons to house out-of-town performers. Beth Marshall will give you a Fringe Superpass if you do!

Do you know any other festivals that give free tickets for services like this?

Remember that weird ad PUSH Interactive showed off last year, with an intern standing on the street corner holding a sign? Apparently that is the genius plan by the Webby-award-winning group... to take pictures of people holding signs. On Monday February 12th down at Loch Haven Park, they're having a photo shoot, and you're to bring a sign, and it can say just about anything (as long as you're cool with them printing it on a poster.
