Never Miss The Motz!
Here's the thing about Jeffery Motz Fringe shows: they serve as a kind of almanac of personal storytelling and participation in the Minnesota Fringe. Once you begin seeing his shows every year, they take on a kind of "sign post" quality or mile marker aspect that you can't help but feel a part of, noting your own journey over time, your love of the Fringe, your experiences of hits and misses, your own triumphs, and your own failures. Not every moment of our life is a home run, but more often than not, it is our willingness to learn and grow from our missteps and misfortunes that help us develop and shine brightest in moments of success. That's why you gotta see every Motz show, every year. Because being there to witness and share with your fellow Fringe goers when the proverbial mighty Casey strikes out, makes it all the sweeter when the bat makes contact and the home runs fly into the August sky. Don't miss out on the man, the myth, the legend: The Motz!

Delightful History Storytelling! And... Atlantis!!
A deep dive into an all but forgotten Minnesota historical figure as told by the charming, witty, and warm-hearted Fringe veteran Kyle Dekker. Drink deep of this Atlantean tale which has a deeper resonance with today's hyper-mediated world of political flotsam than you might expect. Enjoy this historical trip to Atlantis with Kyle as your benevolent guide!

Venue: Augsburg Studio
Two-Headed Monster Science!
Matthew Kessen's beloved Fringe staple gets a magnificent upgrade in the lab with the addition of Elora Riley as his new assistant. This new two-headed monster version is a charming and savvy evolution, lending an old Hollywood-style comedic banter along with the obvious nod to the episodic partnership tropes of modern science fiction television icons Mulder & Scully. Its a wonderful, comedic, and charming new monster science pairing and I hope it continues for many new adventures. Enjoy!
