The New York City Fringe has a fetching penguin as its logo and is relatively new, as it’s only been around since 2007 , uniting a handful of theatres across the city. It has become essential development point for the US Fringe scene. The New York City Fringe runs from Wednesday April 1st through Sunday April 19th. You can find out more by following this link. Here’s a pick of show we’d think you would enjoy.
Did You Charge Your Phone For The End of the World?
Set in the near-future, this is a tale of city destroying asteroid heading to Brooklyn. With the government refusing to tell people what’s coming, rapid redecoration seems inevitable. But then an advertising agency decides to ‘help’. This show is also coming to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Becoming Psychic
A skeptic develops psychic abilities, and comes to the only sensible conclusion; that they are going mad. A darkly comic one-woman show about belief, rationality and the line between sanity and stupidity.
Revenge of the Soy Boy
Star Wars is so ubiquitous that it has become a reliable cultural touchstone for pretty much everyone. Justin Avery Smith hangs his comedic ramblings on the tales from a galaxy far far away in the light-sabre swinging one-man show.
Miracle of The Star
A heart-warming story of two teens, one who wants to be an astronaut, the other an astrologer, who discover a new star. Life is never each and fortune is fickle; will they ever truly know their future before it is too late?
Existential angst as entertainment. Three souls explore a world where punishment is not a thing, and justice has long since vanished. Jaw dropping supernatural stuff.
