Mr. Dickens makes an appearance at the annual wrap-up of this year’s Fringe hosted by Eric Pinder, Jay Becker, and Joel Warren. Dickens attended the theatre every night of the week, so he would have loved the Fringe, and he loved to party. Fringe patrons, artists, volunteers and staff are all subject to be lampooned in this side- splitting celebration. Other special guest stars, hilarious parodies, and audience interaction make this a not-to-be-missed event!

Fringe Abridged will begin on Monday, May 26^th at the John and Rita Lowndes Shakespeare Center at 10 p.m. Tickets are $10. For more information, visit the John and Rita Lowndes Shakespeare Center website.
