| More
than 90 companies descend on Capitol Hill
for the 11th annual Seattle Fringe Theatre
Festival |
| by
Molly Rhodes |
Once a literal, last-minute gather-ing of
like-minded, small-bud-geted artistic thespians
and their friends, the festival has grown
into a local juggernaut of a theatrical showcase
for smaller, burgeoning theatre companies
from western Washington and around the world.
From March 8 to March 18, from noon to late,
you can see everything from naked people (some
with reasons, others just because) to fire-dancing
to thought-provoking verse.
The following is a list of some of the shows
on offer during the festival. For a complete
list, you can visit the festival website at
www.seattlefringe.org.
