The Atlanta Fringe Festival is known for showcasing things off the beaten path, and this year they’re back in person celebrating their 10th anniversary. To discuss this year’s festival, which kicks off on May 16, Fringe Festival Executive Producer Diana Brown joined “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes via Zoom and one of their featured artists, Flora Le.
The 2022 Fringe Festival will showcase 20 theatrical performances from all over the country and 22 audio productions for Fringe Audio — a special network for audio theater and podcasting. This year, a new feature is Saturday morning’s family-friendly performances, open to the public for free. “That’s kind of our first theater for young audiences that we’ve ever done,” said Brown. “We haven’t really tried to welcome toddlers before, so I’m very excited about that.”
Flora Le presents a one-woman show, “Sadec 1965: A Love Story,” referencing the provincial city Sa Đéc in South Vietnam. “It’s a very important place in my show because it is where everything started back in 1965,” said Le. “It’s also where my six-week solo motorcycle trip ends and where the show ends … It brings the story full circle.”
