Please allow me to introduce "Tadaaaaaaa!",
our FringeNYC 2008 mascot featured on the
cover of this program guide. You'll see him popping up all over The New York International
Fringe Festival from August 8th – 24th.
Sometimes he'll have information for you. . .
sometimes he'll point you in the right direction…sometimes he'll be there just to try to
make you laugh. To us, he represents The New
York International Fringe Festival very well: He
is presenting something big and important that
he is obviously very proud of, even though it is
handmade and a little bit on the scrappy side.
He is very much twelve years old. He could be
singing, dancing, acting, directing, designing,
attending, or volunteering – but he is always,
always waving as if to say "come on over – look
what we did!". And that smile lights up our
hearts – not a broad grin or a perfectly symmetrical curve, but a bit turned up in one corner as if he has a little secret and is biting his
lip 'cause he just…cannot…wait…to share it. And
that's what FringeNYC is – an opportunity for
us to share an extraordinary secret adventure
and introduce you to some of the talented and
charming folks we've met along the way (and
maybe throw in a little bit of four-fingered jazz
hands). We're all wide-eyed and waiting. Won't
you come join us?
