Minnesota Fringe Festival

Hello all, the past two weekends we performed our Spermalot the Musical at the Minnesota Fringe Festival (Thursday - Saturday). This was actually my first fringe festival experience that I have ever been apart of. For those of you who have never been to or been apart of a "fringe festival," it basically involves tons of originally shows performed at various performance venues. The festival is basically a competition between shows to see who can get the most audience members, but also is a great chance to see some decently done shows by some pretty good actors (and of course vise versa).

Sadly our show was not the "top" show for our particular venue. But having said that, I still had a great time seeing shows, meeting new people, learning some new things about how a fringe festival works, etc. I am still taking pride in the fact that most of the people who came to see our show enjoyed it greatly. Of course there were those who may not have enjoyed the show to much, may have not understood some sexual jokes, or were just not as open minded as others. And to those people I wish to say one thing: "the name of our show is Spermalot: The Musical. If you are the type of person who doesn't enjoy sexual humor and/or you are not open minded, what did you think our musical was about? The name kind of says it all."

We will be leaving this Wednesday to head to the New York Fringe Festival. Although the fact of performing in New York has made me very, very happy and hella excited, getting there will be a bitch. We will be driving there. FUN!!! (not really). But hey, it's definitely worth it. Who knows, maybe it'll be such a great time that I won't come back to Iowa. Please stay tuned for the next blog and I guess we'll see...
