When I chat with non-industry folks about the Fringe, they almost always say the same thing: “it’s so overwhelming!” They’re interested in the fest, but with hundreds of shows vying for their attention, they don’t know where to start. As BSR’s editor-in-chief, I’m here to help! I’ve been attending the Philly Fringe for 21 years. Coverage of the festival is one of the biggest projects our editorial team tackles each year, and you can’t do it well from behind a desk.
