FringeNYC 2012 Award Winners

5 Lesbians Eating a QuicheHanafuda Denki: A Tale of Playing CardsThe Zebra Shirt of Lonely Children

5 Lesbians Eating a Quiche, Hanafuda Denki: A Tale of Playing Cards, and The Zebra Shirt of Lonely Children
are among the winners of FringeNYC 2012 Awards

On Sunday August 26th at The Mason Jar (43 East 30th Street), FringeNYC Producing Artistic Director Elena K. Holy presented the Overall Excellence Awards at the festival's closing night party. These were selected based on the votes of FringeNYC volunteers who, between them, saw every show at the festival.

 

Each year I strongly agree with some awards and disagree with others. You can make pretty good guesses about both based on my list of rated & ranked shows and my show reviews. But either way, receiving a FringeNYC Award is a genuine honor. (And, for that matter, so is being selected for the FringeNYC Encore Series.)

 

Please note that multiple awards were given in most of the categories, so every production listed below is a FringeNYC Overall Excellence Award winner. Within each category, the winners are listed in alphabetical show order. If a show is underlined, you can click it to read my review.
