YOU DID IT…LIVE!
Yes, theatre summer camp has come to a close (sadness). But we all learned a little something, right? We learned that if there is a Hell, it will be you constantly trying to get around on University Avenue. We learned that HUGE Theater is a thing that’s in our lives (thank god). And finally, we learned that FringeFamous is fucking brilliant. Yup, this year we correctly predicted nine of the top 15 best-selling shows (although, we only nailed the #1 and #3 shows - hey, we’re not perfect). Want to see the whole list? Ugh…fine.
