FringeNYC 2011 Performances Beyond the Encores
The FringeNYC 2011 Encore
Series hosts additional performances
for 18 shows at this year's festival. But what about the other
175 productions?
Some of them have found alternative avenues
for continuing their runs—even if it's for just one more performance. Such
extensions will be reported here.
There are currently no FringeNYC 2011 shows I know about
being performed post-festival outside of the Encore Series. For a
list of the shows that were extended beyond the Encores, please see
below.

HyReviews.com Rating: **½ Naomi
Grossman tells tales of past lovers via a sideshow format, which is entertaining
from story to story; but don't expect the sum to be greater than the parts
because the material offers no evidence that she learned anything from
these experiences... Still, for a mere $8 this is a fine deal. To purchase
