Fringe NYC ran from August 12-28, 2016 at 16 venues across lower Manhattan (and Central Park).

We discuss what we're looking forward to at the 20th annual New York International Fringe Festival.

We were compelled to discuss Men on Boats (written by Jaclyn Backhaus and directed by Will Davis) at Playwrights Horizons because we loved it and because the audience's bizarre reaction at the performance Liz attended demanded a response. This is a mini-episode appreciating the brilliant creators and performers behind Men on Boats. Spoiler alert: There are no men and there are no boats!
