Shows and Schedules Announced for NYC Fringe's "Encores" Series, Beginning Sept. 5
By Robert Simonson

The line-up for the New York International Fringe Festival's new annual series "FringeNYC Encores," beginning Sept. 5, has been revealed.
The series, produced by John Pinckard and Britt Lafield (Never Swim Alone), gives audiences a second chance to see some of the Festival's favorite shows.
"One of the great things about FringeNYC is that it creates this unique atmosphere in which really exciting work can get a level of attention that would otherwise be impossible," says producer Pinckard. "The unavoidable downside is that just as your word-of-mouth has caught fire, your run is over. We wanted to give a handful of worthy shows a chance to be seen by more people. These actors, directors, writers and designers have all worked so hard and deserve an encore."
Running through Sept. 24, the new annual series will present ten works in rotating repertory at two downtown venues from the festival that "have either been audience favorites, lauded by critics, or both."
Tickets to "FringeNYC Encores" will be $18 and go on sale Sept. 1 through www.TicketCentral.com or at 212-279-4200. For more information visit www.fringenyc-encoreseries.com.
