Fringe Festival- Tuesday, August 11
Details
Let's FRINGE! The FUN part of the Fringe is going to more than one show in a day! Please post in the comments if you are coming to both shows or just one (and which one) so I can look for you.
In its 33nd year, the Minneapolis Fringe Festival offers 104 distinct shows and over 540 performances in 10 days at more than a dozen theaters, August 6- August 16. The festival offerings are chosen by LOTTERY. A show could be sold out or have 6 people in the audience. It may be great; it may not be great. It's an adventure!
The $10 Fringe button (now only available at any show's box office) will get you $5 off each show's ticket.
The Fringe Festival shows are each UNDER an hour. There is a half-hour between shows. The most choices are in the Cedar/Riverside theaters.

On Tuesday, August 11, 2026, I will be attending TWO shows at two different theaters in the Cedar Riverside neighborhood. One at 5:30, one at 7:00. Each have a Shakespeare theme. I will in meet you in the lobby unless you are really late. General admission seating.
The 19th Avenue Ramp on campus is the best price and close by.
