So I am the "lifesaver" in this situation because I have managed to appear just when the Fringe Fesival folks needed an extra hand. I am a back-up box office worker and stress-reducer thus far.
And, after working partial shifts for two different shows, I was given a complimentary ticket to see Decay Unlimited (A Cabaret), which I *really* wanted to see. (Rococo Risque gang would've loved it!) It was funny and deliberately awkward at points. The whole thing was about death and decomposition and celebrating the composition and laughing in the face of death. So there are lots of these themes throughout, including the fact that the cabaret performance itself is seemingly falling apart from the very beginning. (We were let into the auditorium and then two performers came out and said we weren't supposed to be in there yet and got house management to usher us all back out of the theater for about two minutes. I think it was part of the show...)
I also got my "I heart Fringe" buttons today. =) AND I was told that I will probably get a T-shirt for volunteering. AND it may be hot pink, which somehow makes it more appealing.
