Theatre on the Fringe

Baltimore is in the midst of the fifth annual Charm City Fringe Festival. As the name implies, this may be unlike any theatre you’ve seen. Events include a one-man performance of the epic war film Apocalypse Now, an absurdist game show, and a play called Piper Bidet: Bathroom Detective. The festival runs through Sunday at a variety of venues. Charm City Fringe Festival co-founder and president Zach Michel sets the stage for us. And Chad Short, a performer in a Fringe Festival play called Yo, You Be Trippin’ explains how the play, an unusual take on the history of LSD, came to be.
