SD Fringe: Recommendations for final days
Highly recommended and word-of-mouth
Ingrid Garner in Eleanor's Story
The San Diego International Festival closes this Sunday, July 3. Ninety-four acts (one canceled) will have performed five shows each by then. And some of the best, like Le Moana’s unforgettable 1918, about the influenza pandemic in Samoa, InnerMission’s Disappearing Act, and Bons Tempos’ Qaddafi’s Cook have already completed their runs.
Here are some recommendations for the remaining shows. They’re from Reader reviewers and word-of-mouth. The list is by no means complete, and often comes from personal tastes: if you like X, check out Y.
Two asides first:
My favorite pre-show announcement: [Company’s Name Here]’s Ozombie Bin Laden: in 3d! at Diversionary: “Sure there are exits. Find them for yourself. You’re adults.”
Favorite overheard comment: “Will there be nude puppetry?”
Highly recommended
