Atlanta Fringe Festival 2025 (Day Nine)

Tue., May 27 – Sun., Jun. 8CRITIC’S PICK: Atlanta Fringe Festival, Live Performances Across Atlanta — The Fringe Fest is now in its thirteenth year and is never less than thoroughly entertaining. In addition to numerous main stage shows, the event includes a free preview night with brief excerpts from all performances, a fundraising screening of a popular movie, late-night showcases and parties, as well as activities for families. Buskers will be busking here and there, and who knows what else organizers have cooked up. Among the debuts is a solo show by Jesse Bradley-Amore titled ‘How I Learned (NOT) To Drive.’ It’s the true story of a 40-year-old guy in Florida who must conquer his deep-rooted dread of driving a car if he is to save his faltering marriage. Broadway World says the show is akin to a live-action version of ‘Fast & Furious’ but funnier, more anxious, and only 60 minutes long. — Kevin C. Madigan
