“[Minnesota Fringe] is a doggedly successful festival that is its own unique, formidable landmark on the Twin Cities art scene. The Fringe abets, co-conspires, and in some cases enables. What it doesn’t do is judge. The result is explosive and rarely less than fun.” —Quinton Skinner, City Pages, “The Fringe Must Go On,” August 8, 2007
