I hung up the phone and sat down on my computer to google "Orlando Fringe". I couldn't help but ask myself what I'd just agreed to attend. Intriguing, yes, but a website with pictures of men in drag and promises of being "100% uncensored" made clear to me that the possibilities were wide open. Its very name--Fringe--at once captured flamboyancy, mystery, and a sense of being on the outskirts of societal norms. Off I drove to meet my friend and see "Serious Theatre".
