Friends of the Fringe Come Together
The Berkshire Fringe Festival kicked off its fifth season on July 27 with an innovative performance at Bard College at Simon’s Rock: five different pieces of theater, film and dance all set to the same six-and-a-half minute electronic soundscape by Peter Wise, one of the Fringe’s founders and co-artistic directors. It provided plenty of food for thought as guests drank champagne and mingled until the the live and silent auctions were completed and the dancing could begin.
