New York Here I come! My show bags are packed! Really, I bought a new suitcase last week and packed it just in case a trip came my way.

CONGRATULATIONS! Your production has been ACCEPTED, and on behalf of The Present Company, and the other volunteer staff of The New York International Fringe Festival (FringeNYC), we want to welcome you to FringeNYC. We have chosen you to participate because we believe you will make an invaluable contribution to this year’s festival. It is our goal to make FringeNYC the most dynamic festival possible, and we invite you to help make this happen.

This will be the Fourteenth Annual New York International Fringe Festival, continuing the overwhelming success of the first thirteen. The festival will begin on Friday, August 13th and continue through Sunday, August 29th. The interest in the Festival grows every year and last year 75,000 people came to downtown Manhattan to support the performing arts. The response from the press was tremendous and the community rallied around FringeNYC in an extraordinary way. And we all had a great time!

Received the good news today, my show Stripes has been accepted into the New York Fringe Festival, providing my visa comes through.
I am totally thrilled.
