My MN Fringe Festival debut!

For the first time, thanks to my McKnight Foundation Fellowship funds I paid to enter the lottery to perform at the 2025 Minnesota Fringe Festival. I first threw my hat in the ring months ago. Today, I was picked to fill a cancellation, so I will be doing five performances at Open Eye Theater on July 31 and August 2, 6, 9 and 10! My tech rehearsal is tomorrow night!

Thankfully, my performance is doing two monologues, “An Abbreviated History of My Hair in Prose and with Rhyme and Music,” a revised version of my humorous essay in which samples of the actual music mentioned in the work will be played; and my sci-fi story “Adjudicated,” which is extracted from my novel-in-progress Strange Inequalities. That isn’t going to take a lot of preparation or technical assistance, so that’ll make it easier.

More information about my performances can be found on my MN Fringe Festival performer page.
