Congressman Joe Morelle to Join County Executive Adam Bello at Parcel 5 to Introduce Rochester Fringe Shows

On Saturday, Sept. 16, Monroe County Executive Adam Bello will introduce two shows at Parcel 5: The Fanzinis in Ballet Poulet at 6:40 p.m., and EXIT by Cirque Inextremiste at 7:20 p.m. U.S. Congressman Joseph Morelle will join Mr. Bello to introduce Cirque Inextremiste. Both shows are presented by the Rochester Fringe Festival and are free to attend.

The highly acclaimed French company Cirque Inextremiste makes its Rochester Fringe premiere in a tightrope-walking, quirky, fiery, spectacular performance called EXIT. The fantastic Cirque Inextremiste team and its 3400 m3 aerostat hot air balloon immerse the public, body and soul, in an unusual scenographic universe. A group of sweet lunatics find themselves trapped in spite of themselves in a life-size epic. Their mission: to free themselves from their straitjackets and escape at all costs from this world governed by strict and implacable rules.

Monroe County, NY's sister county in Ireland, County Cavan, introduces itself to festival attendees this week by sending its world-famous street theatre artists, The Fanzinis, to the Rochester Fringe Festival in a cultural exchange. Two self-described “world-class Olympian-level idiots,” the Fanzinis present their Ballet Poulet (yes, that translates to Chicken Ballet), an acrobatic clowning mashup that pits vaguely balletic comedy against a bad-ass display of mayhem, crazed gymnastics, and next-level hilarity, somehow involving a chicken.

Review: 'MASTER HAROLD'...AND THE BOYS at Irish Classical Theatre

As the audience grew restless awaiting the start of the play, the near twenty minute delay had me wondering if there would even be a production. Luckily, the play started and the wait, though unexplained, was worth it. Buffalo's Irish Classical Theatre's production of Athol Fugard's riveting 'MASTER HAROLD'... AND THE BOYS proved to be a captivating afternoon.

Review: ALL MY SONS at Road Less Traveled Theater

How an American dream ends up as an American tragedy pretty much sums up the gut wrenching production of ALL MY SONS now playing at Road Less Traveled Theater. Arthur Miller's 1947 classic immerses the audience is post World War II Americana, where the pangs of the war are still felt and a quest for happiness and prosperity could be felt in every suburban neighborhood.
