For the first time in festival history, we had a tie. Not just one tie, even, but two! To break the tie, we held a public coin toss (similar to the lottery that we use to determine the festival lineup) at Fringe Central tonight.
Congratulations go to contenders at Augsburg Studio (“Parry Hotter” and “Sarah, Your Ovaries Are Drying Up“) and at Playwrights’ Center (“Two Short Operas” and “The Dumb Waiter“) for jobs very well done.
And without further ado, we have the 2009 Fringe Encore lineup:
